LAHORE, Aug 17: ARD president Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan has criticized Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali for always finding faults with the opposition and “ignoring unparliamentary acts of the army and ruling party’s chief.”

Talking to reporters at the residence of PPP leader Munir Ahmad Khan here on Sunday, he said the opposition had been fighting for the supremacy of the parliament and winning powers for Jamali and strengthening his command over national affairs.

But he (Jamali) was browbeating the opposition instead of protesting against the so-called declarations of corps commanders’ conferences and Chaudhry Shujaat’s statements in favour of Gen Musharraf, the senior politician regretted.

Mr Jamali also remained silent when Gen Pervez Musharraf called the parliament uncivilized, he recalled and asked the prime minister to assert (against Gen Musharraf and others) if he wielded the powers.

Claiming that dictators in Pakistan faced the severest resistance in the world, he denounced the rulers for, what he said, making the judiciary, the National Assembly speaker and other institutions controversial.

Answering a question, he said the Aug 14 public meeting of the ARD had achieved its goal.

In replying to another question, he said the ARD had no differences with the six-party religious alliance, MMA, and meetings with the latter were being held to discuss requisition of a National Assembly session.
