State Minister for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali said Saturday that the government has done nothing wrong by asking the Army to play its role for an end to political crisis. "Although inviting Army is not the parliament's decision, even then if military co-operates what's wrong in it?" He said while speaking to media persons here.
"We made all-out efforts to address concerns of protesting parties but to control the situation is mutual responsibility of both Army and the Government, and this is government's constitutional duty to devise policy with military," said Sher Ali. On Friday, the government faced a blowback of asking military to facilitate talks with PTI and PAT.
However, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said the government gave the role of only facilitator but not of a guarantor to the Army, as claimed by Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri. The role of facilitation by Army is within the constitutional ambit, he said.
