Bill contrary to country's honour

ISLAMABAD - PML (N) leader and two-time former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Wednesday rejected the Kerry-Lugar Bill with controversial clauses that were in conflict with the country’s sovereignty, security and national honour.
Addressing a press conference here in the Punjab House after a consultative meeting with senior party leaders, he called for the establishment of a parliamentary committee to evolve a national action plan. He regretted that PPP-led government had neither taken its own coalition partners nor opposition parties’ on board about the controversial US bill on Pakistan, adding, had the PPP implemented the Charter of Democracy (CoD) such problems would not have cropped up.
He was of the view that PML (N) had fulfilled its national obligation by rejecting the Kerry-Lugar Bill in the parliament.
PML-N Chief announced a committee of his party to be headed by Senator Ishaq Dar to evolve a national action plan in collaboration with other parliamentary parties as well as people from all walks of life.
“We want a national action plan evolved by the parliament which should be made part of the constitution in order to tackle multiple challenges confronting the country “, Nawaz Sharif said, adding that Pakistan’s internal problems need to be tackled with wisdom rather than through emotions.
