ISLAMABAD: Information Secretary of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) Ahsan Iqbal has said that the nation wants to know where the 65 billion dollars have gone which were given to Pakistan for the cooperation in the so called war on terror after 9/11 incidents in the United States. People’s problems have aggravated, there are crises of power and gas as no project had been established in last eight years. More than $65 billion came to Pakistan after 9/11, but the nation didn’t know where they have gone, said Ahsan Iqbal while talking to a tv channel.“We have been put in a situation where we are deciding about the judiciary and judges, the problems that were solved some three decades back,” he observed.
People have given a mandate for reforms; a mandate to set the judiciary free; maintain the supremacy of the parliament and to introduce such tenure in power, he said and added that the President has completed more than two tenures in power, he should quit gracefully now.“People’s mandate in elections was against him. It is a test of President Musharraf, if he wants to continue, the new parliament will demand its right to elects its President,” he maintained.
About government at the centre, he said that the representatives of both the parties have been discussing the modalities of cooperation. However, people have given mandate to both the parties to get Pakistan free of dictatorship and it has been decided at strategic level that there would be cooperation between the major parties on this front.
About changing loyalties of the elected members, Ahsan said, only independent members have joined PML (N) and they are bound under the law to join any party.“So far as Q-League is connected many members of the party approached us in individual capacity, but we did not accept them as we cannot accept them in individual capacity, as is unlawful. If any group decides on bloc it would be different case. We might accept them.”They (PML –Q members) are coming in large number daily but we cannot accept them till they form a group, a forward bloc only then we can accept them, he said.-SANA
