PML-Q to oppose any move to impeach President: Elahi

Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said on Tuesday the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) would oppose any move to impeach the President. “President Musharraf has been elected democratically for five years and he should complete his stipulated term as well as the incumbent assemblies and this would strengthen the democratic system,” he said while talking to the media after the parliamentary party meeting of the PML-Q here. “Though the PML-Q had opposed the introduction of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) but this was possible due to the reconciliatory efforts initiated by the President.We should recognize that the hustle and bustle in the Parliament today is due to the NRO. Those who were benefited by the NRO should learn that President Musharraf is also a part of the NRO,” he said. To a query, Elahi denied the formation of any forward bloc in the party. He alleged that the PML-Q workers and MNAs were facing problems in Punjab and Sindh.

“In each district, around 150 FIRs are being lodged against the PML workers”, he alleged.

He claimed that even an FIR of the alleged theft of a Charpoy has been registered against the brother of MNA Sardar Bahadur Khan Seehar, who is also a Tehsil Nazim which was condemned by Parliamentary Party meeting.
