Not to be part of anti-Constitution drive: Awan


LAHORE: Pakistan people’s Party will not be part of any conspiracy that is aimed at sabotaging the Constitution, said Federal Minister for Law Babar Awan here on Sunday.

Addressing a ‘Meet The Press’ program here at Lahore Press Club, Babar Awan said: “We will not let the campaign towards derailment of reconciliatory politics and democracy succeed,” and added that PPP’s doors for talks would continue to remain open.”

On the occasion, the Law Minister announced Rs2 million for the Lahore Press Club.

He said: “The ink of the 18th and 19th amendment still hadn’t dried that N-League began indulging in the politics of Changa Manga.”

Babar Awan said the PML-N leadership had, during a tussle with Musharraf, left its workers and headed abroad. And now it (PML-N) has brought the turncoats back in its folds, he added.

He said the Punjab government squandered a whopping Rs190 billion on Chief Minister Secretariat expenditures and VVIP flights.

“I ask those who spoke of resolving problems in 45 minutes what progress they have made in two long days,” the Law Minister said.

The measurement of ‘good governance’ in Punjab, he said, can be gauged from a single fact that ‘932 employees are serving under 115 officers’. “I agree that not all went well but it’s still not too late to turn things around,” he added.
