CHAKWAL, Sept  28: Former Federal Minister and MNA
Doctor Sher Afgan said on Sunday that the leaders of
Muthida Majlis-e-Amal have admitted that all the
matters regarding LFO have been settled with the
Government and the guarantee they wanted in this
matter is automatically the fulfilled when this
constitutional package will be brought before the
parliament for the approval and the only minor matter
regarding the uniform of General Pervaiz Musharraf,
will also be settled after the return of Prime
Minister Jamali from USA.  He was addressing at the
meet the press program at Chakwal Press Club.  Doctor
Sher Afgan was of the view that the way combined
opposition were protesting in the parliament, it is
contempt of the parliament and the members should be
dismissed from their seats, therefore opposition
should adopt democratic norms in the parliament as
protest their basic and constitutional right.  Doctor
Sher Afgan told that the amendment made in the
constitution by General Zia-ul-Haq through revival of
constitution order in the parliament was quite
different that were made by General Pervaiz Musharraf
through LFO.  General Zia-ul-Haq got those amendments
approved on gunpoints and under the umbrella of
Martial law while the Supreme Court allowed General
Pervaiz Musharraf to amend the constitution and on the
direction of superior judiciary LFO was made the part
of the constitution.  Replying to an other question he
disclose that the real Pakistan People’s Party with
the symbol of sword is very much on the card as the
various basic members and members of parliament were
fed up with the policy of Naheed Khan.  He further
told that he was expelled from the People’s Party in
2002 on the recommendation of Naheed Khan and more
over the most of the members of the parliament of PPPP
nominated him as a candidate for the speaker of
National Assembly but at the last moment Ehtazaz Ehsan
was brought as a candidate.  Doctor Sher Afgan said
that he had no regret as he did not the Pakistan
People’s Party as he was forced by the certain vested
interest people in the Pakistan People’s Party.
Doctor Sher Afgan alleged that Naheed Khan minted
millions of rupees by selling party ticket in the
recent election and he had a complete list that would
be made public in appropriate time.  Talking about the
construction of Kala Bagh Dam he was of the view that
its construction is for the interest of the country
and it would be constructed at the cost of five
millions dollars that would be return back in five
years as the cost per unit of electricity from hidle
power generation was 55 paisa while we are producing
over 70 percent electricity through furnace oil which
cost rupees six per unit.  He warned that if Kala Bagh
Dam and other reservoir were not construction Pakistan
would become a barren land by 2013.  Doctor Sher Afgan
further told that the issue of Kala Bagh Dam is
technical one but unfortunately it was termed into
politically.  He assured that Sindh and NWFP province
interest will not be hampered by the construction of
Kala Bagh Dam.  Mr. Nawaz Sharif will never come back
to Pakistan as he begged from General Pervaiz
Musharraf and he got exile for ten years through an
agreement made with the Government, however Benazir
Bhutto after facing cases against her can come to
Pakistan and these cases were made against Benazir
Bhutto by Nazwaz Sharif and now both have become
brother and sister which shows the sincerity of their
sentiments shown by them to the people of Pakistan and
now one thins is very clear that 140 millions people
of Pakistan will not be fooled again Doctor Sher Afgan
concluded.
