SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
In a bid to defuse the situation created after PPP stalwart Aitzaz Ahsan’s invective in the Parliament on Friday, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan Saturday announced to move forward by putting it all behind.
Addressing a press conference, Chaudhry Nisar said: “I forgive and forget the yesterday’s events in the Parliament.”
He said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and some ministers were trying to convince him to calm down the situation.
The Interior Minister said what takes precedence over his own sentiments and self-respect is the cause of democracy and what is in greater interest of Pakistan.
Chaudhry Nisar said there should be a tradition that arguments taking place outside not be brought into the Parliament.
The Interior Minister said the allegations hurled against him be investigated by any judge. “Justice Wajihuddin and Justice Tariq Mhemood would be acceptable to me for the task.”
He said his yesterday’s speech be treated as First Information Report (FIR).
Nisar called himself a biggest proponent of Sharif Brothers on their back and a biggest critic in their presence.
He, however, lamented that never before in the history of the Parliament such remarkds were made against him.
Nisar contended that whatever was said against his family, particularly, his brother, he had a right to come up with a response. “If someone assailed me or my party, a reaction on it is bound to come,” he added.
