KARACHI, Jan 1: The PML-N is considering legal action against the MQM parliamentarians involved in “bad-mouthing and using unparliamentary language” against the PML-N leadership.
Ahsan Iqbal, the information secretary of the PML-N, was critical of those political parties which, in spite of being part of the coalition government, were criticising it day in and day out.
The PML-N and the Muttahida indulged in a mud-slinging bout on Wednesday, slandering each other’s top leadership.
“If they are really sincere, they should leave the government and do politics based on principles,” Mr Iqbal said at a press conference on Saturday.
He blamed the government and its coalition partners for the worsening law and order situation. Mr Iqbal also slammed the government for the massive increase in petroleum prices, calling for a reversal of the decision.
He called for removal of ‘corrupt’ officials from financial institutions, saying that new appointments should be made through a parliamentary committee. He said the economy was on its knees because of corruption.
The PML-N leader said unless the government stopped wastefulness, economy would not pick up, warning that poverty would spawn anarchy and civil war.He said had President Asif Zardari acted upon the advice of Mian Nawaz Sharif, the country would not have been in dire straits.
He reiterated his party’s stance that it would not be a part of the “puppet show for a mere change of face”. “My party thinks that any change should be meaningful and decisive.”
