PML-N calls for joint session of parliament
ISLAMABAD, May 24: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz spokesman Siddiqul Farooq said on Saturday that the coalition government enjoyed two-thirds majority in the National Assembly.
Addressing a news conference here at the party central secretariat, the spokesman demanded a joint session of the upper and lower houses of the parliament for “impeachment” of President Pervez Musharraf.
Siddiqul Farooq alleged that present wheat and power crises was the result of the previous government’s policies.
“The previous regime had not taken any initiative to generate electricity in order to meet future requirements of the country”, he added.
He alleged that undemocratic forces rigged the elections in 2002 to get a rubber stamp parliament.
The PML-N spokesman said the people in February 18 elections gave mandate to two major political parties and rejected the policies of the previous government. But, he said, undemocratic forces were conspiring against the coalition government.—APP
