Drone Attacks. Disgraceful

LAHORE: PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has alleged both the founding parties of Charter of Democracy (CoD) including PPP and PML-N have violated it.
PML-Q president said this while addressing a press conference at his residence here Sunday. Opposition leader in Punjab Assembly, Chaudhry Zahir ud Din and others were also present on the occasion.
Chaudhry Shujaat told when resolution on CoD was presented in National Assembly (NA), PML-Q chief whip Riaz Pirzada on his point of order had said PML-Q did not accept CoD. But this motion was bulldozed and the resolution was got adopted, he charged.
It was laid down in CoD no horse trading would be allowed and appointment of chief election commissioner would be made in consultation with opposition, he pointed out. PML-N violated the clause of horse trading while PPP breached the clause of appointment of chief election commissioner, he charged.
Those who were demanding apology from us should themselves apologize to nation on their high profile crimes, he underlined. They kept the nation in dark and left for Sarwar palace by brokering a secret deal and leaving PML-N in lurch, he added. If Nawaz Sharif considered Pervez Musharraf so hateful then why he promoted him to the post of army chief by superseding 3 generals, he questioned. He should tender apology on all his steps, he added.
He said PPP led government in 1974-75 had launched aerial strikes in Balochistan and now it had crossed all the limits by allowing drone attacks. Accumulating money in return for such steps was sheer disgraceful act, he added.
To a question about Swat Peace Deal he voiced apprehension certain foreign powers did not like the words of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. “I am afraid incidents would be churned out through fake ways to vilify Pakistan in order to sabotage peace deal”, he added. Major responsibility rested with ANP to implement this deal, he demanded.
About allocation of 160 million funds each to all members of forward bloc he said although it was a form of horse trading but it would be a good sign if these were spent on development projects.
To another question Chaudhry Shujaat said he had opposed Lal Masjid operation and former president Pervez Musharraf had acknowledged it.
