ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Tuesday defended the government's decision of not tabling the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) in the parliament.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Gilani said the government has not made NRO a matter of ego and that the government remains committed to abolishing the 17th amendment and Article 58-2(b).
He further said that the NRO was not brought to the house due to the parliamentarians’ reservations. Gilani reiterated that the government is still committed to the Charter of Democracy (CoD).
Speaking about a number of crises in the country, Gilani said the government will soon be calling a meeting on sugar, electricity and gas shortages in the country, which would be attended by chief ministers and finance ministers. — DawnNews
