Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the government is making those legislations controversial which could have been easily passed. He said that the government has undemocratic behaviour and opposition was censored in the National Assembly. The government is trying to get dictatorial authority in the name of FATF and the bills which have been passed today from the Senate and the National Assembly are not controversial. The government included PPP’s amendments in those bills.
Addressing a press conference at Zardari House Islamabad on Thursday, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the government in the garb of FATF, wanted to bring a legislation through which it could make any citizen a missing person for six months. The PPP could not allow this because our stance has been for democracy and basic human rights. The government wanted to get dictatorial powers using the backdoor but PPP will never allow it to happen.
He said that the government is also trying to blend FATF legislation with the legislation for NAB. They are two different issues. The business community had met the Army Chief and the government and their narrative was that NAB and business cannot go together. In this regard, President Asif Ali Zardari had said long ago that NAB and economy cannot go together. Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that after the verdict by the Supreme Court judge Justice Baqar, NAB and democracy cannot go together.
