PPP to work with MMA to restore democracy

The opposition leader in the senate, Senator Raza Rabbani said on Monday that despite having ideological differences with the religious parties, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was ready to launch a movement against the government along with the MMA for the restoration of democracy.
“The PPP has differences of ideology with the component parties of the MMA since long but has no difference on restoration of real democracy, the constitution, and the Parliament’s supremacy,” he said, while speaking at a press conference at the opposition leaders’ chambers in the Sindh Assembly. Rabbani said that the time was right to launch a movement against the rulers. While admitting the ‘contacts’ with the rulers, he reiterated his party’s stand that it would never strike a deal with the rulers. According to him, there was no serious dialogue going on with the rulers and refused to comment on why the talks were restricted to his party only. Raza Rabbani alleged that appointment of the new chairman of the PIA was aimed at expediting the process of privatisation of the national airline, and alleged that the extra 800 acres that were allotted for the new airport in Islamabad violated the Land Acquisition Act.
Nisar Khuhro said that the non-functional Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was removed to prevent him from taking suo moto notices and to allow rigging in the next general elections. staff report.
