The resolution against the attack on Malala Yousafzai and in favour of an operation in North Waziristan Agency could not be tabled in the National Assembly on Tuesday due to opposition from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Speaking in the NA, Leader of Opposition Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said the government had made parliament a graveyard of joint resolutions and not even a single one of them had been implemented. He said the PML-N did not impede the government despite facing taunts of being a friendly opposition.
“The government should stop disrespecting the parliament. The interior minister is befooling the nation by telling lies continuously,” Nisar said. “If the attackers of Malala are in Afghanistan, why does the government have plans to launch a military operation in North Waziristan Agency?” he said.
He said the tradition of calling political opponents traitors should be stopped.
Ahsan Iqbal of the PML-N said his party would provide jobs to the youth of Sindh by eradicating robbers’ rule there. The PPP government had ruined the peace of Sindh, he added. Khurshid Shah of the PPP said the PML-N was trying to make alliance with anti-federation nationalists in Sindh.
PPP’s Nasir Ali Shah said there appeared no end to the targeted killings in the country, adding that it was strange that PPP workers were being killed during the party’s rule. Saad Rafiq of the PML-N said Pakistan had become more unsafe under the PPP rule than under Musharraf’s regime.
“The nation has been divided into several segments. Now issues such as carving out provinces on ethnic basis are being raised,” he said. The PML-N leader said the government had now agreed to write the letter to Swiss authorities after sending one prime minister home. Saad said Gen (r) Ahmed Shuja Pasha had hinted at federal government’s involvement in the release of CIA contractor Raymond Davis. He added that no representative of the government met Baloch Sardar Akhtar Mengal when he came to Islamabad.

Disgusting PML-N. We always had heard about your support for militancy. You would not even recognise that the Punjab Taliban existed. Now you are preventing a united response that would give a green light for military action. You are standing in the way of the future peace of our children. You want these barbarians to be at the gates of Lahore before you might worry about your back sides. What do you think should be Pakistan’s response – negotiate with murderers who chopped and walked off with the head of an SP Police a few days ago? It’s a clear choice that faces Pakistan and you are on the wrong side.

These Taliban bedfellows would talk about everything other than burning hundreds of girls' schools, shooting a fourteen year old girl or pushing the country towards 'stone-age' through violence and intimidation …

You guys are cowards at best with a better probability of being traitors driven by self-interest and greed …

'Comfort girl' of Taliban in some opinion …
