ISLAMABAD: The statement of Pakistan Muslim League-N President Nawaz Sharif in connection with formation of military courts came under detailed discussion on Tuesday in the National Assembly where it was severely criticized by the treasury benches.
However, PML-N MNAs defended the statement of their leader.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s Haider Abbas Rizvi wondered ‘what enmity Nawaz Sharif harboured against Karachiites that he wants to have military courts in the city’.
“Who is responsible for the blood of MQM workers who were extra-Constitutionally hanged by military courts,” he asked.
PML-N’s Mehtab Abbasi said he deemed it inappropriate of the statement being associated with Nawaz Sharif, who had waged a long struggle against dictatorship in the country.
Abid Sher Ali of PML-N said for the past nine years MQM had its Governor in Sindh. “Is the Governor ready to accept responsibility of 4500 people murdered during this period?” he asked.
