Islamabad – Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal in a speech on Tuesday said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz was expecting Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) to support the passing of the Electoral Reforms Bill 2017.
While addressing PML-N’s general council meeting in Islamabad, Iqbal said that the amendment of the clause barring disqualification of any parliamentarian from heading a political party was originally placed by former president General Ayub Khan.
It was later on removed by PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 1975 and brought back into the law in 2002 by former president Gen Pervez Musharraf.
“Last night, the National Assembly was able to remove Musharraf’s ‘black law’,” said Iqbal.
He requested PPP leadership to not oppose what Bhutto did, according to Iqbal “We expect PPP to stand with us. We all know Musharraf brought the NAB law to harass political opponents”.
Interior minister further praised Nawaz for his democratic and economic in the country.
