Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Sunday that the PPP-led government did not want clash with institutions as it thought that clash with institutions would play havoc with the country.
Talking to media persons at Dera Kaira, he said that PPP leaders and workers sacrificed their lives in all eras for the cause of democracy in the country. "We did not clash with courts at that time when Shaheed Benazir Bhutto had to pay visits courts and Asif Ali Zardari was incarcerated for two year," he added.
Kaira said Parliament was not a name of any building but it was an institution which was mandated by the people to legislate. All institutions should work within their ambit of law, he added.
He said the appointment of chief election commissioner of Pakistan was a big message that the PPP was pursuing the policy of reconciliation.
The minister said the Prime Minister had already said that holding elections before two or three months of the tenure was not a matter. He said talks with the opposition could be taken place on early elections in the country.
Criticising the Punjab government, the minister said Khyber Pukhtunkhwa was facing terrorism while in Punjab the situation of law and order was deteriorating and the personnel of law enforcement agencies were being targeted.
He said the chief minister Punjab should announce of rebellion against the extremism so that attacks on policemen and robbery incidents could be controlled in the province. Regarding cases against Sharif brothers, Kaira said cases against Mian Sahib should be opened, if any.
