ISLAMABAD, Jan 30 (APP): Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar on Saturday offered to all political parties including Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F to sit together with the government for discussing about the electoral reforms.
Talking to a private news channel, he said the opposition wanted to amend the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws according to their wishes, adding it meant they wanted National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) from the government. The minister said the government wanted to hold up-coming the Senate elections in transparent manners as it was going to table the Senate election amendment bill in the National Assembly in next week.
He said if the opposition parties oppose the bill then it means they are not sincere for holding transparent elections and they want to sell and purchase votes. Asad Umar said everyone knows who introduced horse trading and usage of money in the country’s politics, adding the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz had staged ‘Changa Manga bazar’ for purchasing votes during its previous tenures.
Replying to a question, he said the government strongly believes in supremacy of law and is fully committed to bring transparency in every sector of life and holding elections in free, fair and transparent manner so that the opposition should come and sit together with treasury benches for discussing and bringing electoral reforms.
