Assemblies to complete terms, govt to continue: Makhdoom

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Commerce and senior leader of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Makhdoom Amin Fahim has vowed that the present assemblies will complete their tenure and Gilani government will stay in office till the time the term of the assemblies is complete.

The Makhdoom who met the president and prime minister Tuesday at length told The News in an informal chat at the Parliament House that present government is not confronting any political problem. The rumour mongering is not a new thing as kite flying is on rampant ever since the government has assumed the office.

The genuine political leadership is aware that the Gilani government will continue till the end of the tenure of the assemblies but political constrains are compelling them to shy away from the truth. The media hype has pumped in air in the balloon of crisis otherwise the situation has not gone that worse that the government should feel any problem about its survival.

The completion of the tenure of the Parliament and the government would be a good omen for democracy in Pakistan. ‘We must put efforts to strengthen the democracy and discourage such practices which are detrimental for the democratic order in the country, he said.
