Allies working on draft resolution

FEDERAL Minister and PPP leader Khurshid Shah has said that a resolution about reinstatement of the deposed judges would be tabled in the National Assembly, as his party believes in the supremacy of the Parliament.
“The PPP wants to discuss every issue including reinstatement of the judges in the Parliamentâ€�, he said.  
Talking to a private TV channel on Thursday, the minister said it has been decided that the issue of the judges would be discussed in the House. He said that the leadership of ANP and JUI-F agreed on tabling the resolution in the House and negotiations with PML-N in this regard were underway.
APP adds: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Sherry Rehman underlined the need for putting in collective efforts by every segment of the society to effectively combat the menace of terrorism.
Speaking in a private television programme, she strongly condemned the recent incidents of terrorism, which claimed several innocent lives. She said the wave of terrorism did not take birth yesterday, rather it is a problem since Pakistan put in all its resources in the Afghan war.
She vowed to ‘roll back’ terrorism and stabilise economy of the country and said the government was committed to working for welfare of the masses. Sherry said Pakistan Peoples Party was itself a victim of terrorism as its Chairperson Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto was martyred in an act of terrorism.
Commenting on the judiciary issue, the minister said JUI-F and ANP had sought some time to look into the matter as these parties were of the view that they were not consulted and involved in drafting of the Murree Declaration by the two major parties, PPP and PML-N.
PPP wanted to take all coalition partners along to settle the issue of judiciary, she said, adding, there was no disagreement among the ruling alliance.
