Senator Jam Saifullah Khan said that it was need of the hour to show unity among all political parties to address all major issues confronting the country on a priority basis.
Addressing the Upper House during maiden debates and the motion of thanks here Friday, he suggested that all political parties should close the chapter of political revenge from each other and stop the hurdles on the path of development and growth of the state, whereas constructive and positive criticism would be welcomed from the Opposition.
Khan highlighted the sacrifices of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) and Awami National Party (ANP) in the past in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the war on terror.
Senator Irfan ul Haq Siddique while participating in the debate on a motion of thanks on the presidential address, said that Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani would be better for the Chairmanship of Senate.
He also invited the Opposition to come forward and join hands with the government benches for the sake of the country’s development and national economy.
“Currently, the country is facing many challenges at international level, so all political parties should shun personal political scoring and work for the state and citizens,” Senator Siddique said.
The Upper House, he said is also an institute of democracy to promote the voices of the people for the betterment of the country.
