8
ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Friday appreciated Leader of the Opposition’s statement in the National Assembly about opposing any unconstitutional change.
Speaking to media representatives, the minister said it was very encouraging to know that the opposition would oppose any unconstitutional change in the country.
She said this showed that political parties had learnt from past mistakes and that they would not repeat them in the future to derail the democratic process.
Firdous said the parliament which was the custodian of public rights was the right forum to discuss all issues.
Replying to a question regarding an alleged memorandum written to a US General, the minister said the government had faced such conspiracies in the past and that the anti-Pakistan lobby would not succeed in destabilising Pakistan through these plots.
