The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Parliamentary Affairs on Tuesday sought an explanation from the government over its agreement with Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) chief, Dr Tahirul Qadri.

The committee added a briefing on the pact in the agenda for its upcoming session.

Tuesday’s meeting was held in Islamabad under the chairmanship of Syed Mumtaz Alam Gilani.

During the meet, Shireen Arshad Khan, a member of the committee from the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), said even members of the government were of the view that the agreement with Qadri had no constitutional importance.

Khan further questioned as to why talks were held with the TMQ chief when the accord was of no legal significance.

The committee then decided to seek an explanation from the government over the agreement at its upcoming meeting. It also directed Law Minister Farooq H Naek — who was absent from Tuesday’s meeting — to appear at the next meeting.

Qadri had reached the agreement with the government in January after holding a sit-in in Islamabad which lasted four days.

The sit-in’s agenda was to obtain assurances for a clean-up of the system, consultation with the army and judiciary and dissolution of the assemblies and the election commission.

However, the TMQ chief went back with a vague date for assemblies’ dissolution and a promise that he would be consulted again by the government and that he would suggest two names for a caretaker prime minister.

Qadri, who played a role in backing a military coup in 1999, had returned to Pakistan from Canada over a month ago to lead a call for electoral reforms in order to bar “corrupt politicians” from office.

  1. the brave stand of NA`s committee to question ask for the Qadri agreement with the government raises many doubtful questions even to a common man.if this so0called agreement is approved,then it will become the nonsense traditions of the blacklists to gain unlawful advantages through bloody sit-in gatherings.It is hoped that the government will take stern actions against Qadri Saheb and ask him not to take part in Pakistan`s politics in future.Both Qadri and current government are responsible for this eligal acceptance of so-called demands. In Pakistan already mafia of lotaism,opportunism and blackmailing diseases will be spread like SIT-IN DRAMA and will cause severe problems for the government.STOP THIS NONSENSE TRADITIONS IN THE START AND DO NOT ENCOURAGE DUE MUTUAL POLITICAL DIFFERENCES
