LAHORE: Former Federal Minister and Pakistan Peoples' Party Senator Dr Babar Awan on Saturday said commissions should be formed on Siachen, Kargil and East Pakistan for fixing responsibility, like the commission set up recently to probe into a ‘piece of paper.’

Addressing a Rai Ahmad Khan Kharl conference organised by Kharl Sangat Pakistan at Alhamra Hall, he said that no one could derail democracy and snatch from the people the right to vote and work in line with the constitution, adding the masses wanted to know the truth behind many issues of national importance.

He said the PPP-led government would protect rights of the people given by the constitution.

Paying tribute to Rai Ahmad Khan Kharl, a martyr of the 1857 war against British forces, he said that Ahmad Kharl accepted martyrdom bravely as he was committed to his cause.
