LAHORE – Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has maintained that if appointments like NAB chairman were continued to be made, they will be forced to undertake a long march.
He stressed that President Asif Zardari should show some wisdom and not take such decisions. He was addressing a public meeting after inaugurating Watan Cards programme in Khushab on Sunday.
According to him, Pakistan Muslim League-N opposes this decision and will continue to do so. He said he has no personal grudge against Deedar Shah but the matter pertains to justice and bringing back the money looted from the country, whether this money is of Swiss bank accounts, Steel Mills or it is about the illegal loans of millions of rupees given to the directors of Punjab Bank.
Describing the people of Punjab and Sindh, as well as poor masses of the country as talented, he asserted that all the deserving persons including resourceless students, cancer patients, destitute widows and orphans have a right over the 60 million dollars in Swiss banks and it is not the personal property of any individual.
He maintained that appointment of Deedar Shah is tantamount to adding insult to the injuries of the poor as well as promotion of poverty and corruption. He said: It is a slap on the face of justice and a crude attempt to hide corruption. He said President Zardari has given the responsibility of rendering justice to 170 million people to such a controversial person who was People Party MPA twice. He said: “There is a need for utilizing national resources honestly and judiciously for transforming Pakistan into a state as per the ideals of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal.”
Earlier, the CM inaugurated the programme of distribution of Watan Cards among flood affectees. He also enquired about the problems being faced by the flood victims and issued instructions for their solution. Talking to the calamity-stricken people, the CM said though floods have caused a loss of billions of rupees to the provincial economy, Punjab government has not lost the courage and every effort would be made for their rehabilitation.

ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has warned that the Pakistan will explore every available option if NATO does not apologise for violation of its territory.
Responding to a point of order in the National Assembly on Friday, Prime Minister Gilani said PakistanÂ’s cooperation with NATO and US in the war on terror does not mean that Pakistan has compromised on its sovereignty. “War on terror is our own war and we are fighting it to curb the menace of terrorism from our country,” Premier Gilani added.
He said the government has raised the issue with NATO in accordance with international principles. “We have discussed it with Senator Kerry and it will also be raised in Brussels,” Prime Minister told the House.
He said Pakistan has intelligence, defence, political and economic cooperation with the US and if the allied forces have any credible information regarding terrorist activities they should share it with Pakistani authorities.
The Prime Minister made it clear that any violation of Pakistani territory is not acceptable and the government will not allow anyone to violate its security and sovereignty.
Earlier, MNA Abdul Qadir Baloch on the point of order urged the parliamentarians to register their protest against NATO attacks, adding that the House should pass a resolution against this violation.
Responding to another point of order, Prime Minister Gilani said government believes in across-the-board transparent accountability and does not believe in political victimization.
He reiterated that the government intends to pass new accountability bill through consensus and it is working to build a consensus among all stakeholders in this regard.
He said during previous regimes NAB was working under the Chief Executive of the country and he himself became its political victim.
“As I did not want an impression of influencing NAB on my part, I better decided to give NAB under the Law Ministry for the sake of justice,” he stated.
Gilani however said as per the law, the President has to consult the leaders of the House and Opposition for the appointment of Chairman NAB. “I, on behalf of the President, have proposed two names to the Opposition Leader on which he has reservations.” He said keeping in view the situation, the government requested the Supreme Court to extend time for appointment of Chairman NAB to complete consultative process for this purpose.
He told the House that no ordinance is promulgated without the permission of the Prime Minister.
Earlier, Mahtab Abbasi on the point of order while quoting a news item expressed his concern over the promulgation of an ordinance designating the powers of Chairman NAB to Law Ministry.
