Nisar puts off resignation as PAC chairman
Opposition leader in NA Ch Nisar Ali Khan has postponed his decision to resign as PAC chief.
He has taken the decision to not resign as Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman on instructions from his party, PML (N).
Speaking to an urgently called press conference at Punjab House, Nisar said the government is trying to put obstacles in the functioning of PAC to conceal its corruption.
The entire attention of the government is to prolong its regime instead of resolving problems of the people.
“The rule of Zardari is not less than any dilemma for the nation. Those who are giving support to the government are equal partners in the game of plundering,” Nisar added.
He said that there are four important institutions -- National Accountability Bureau, Supreme Court, Federal Ombudsman and Public Accounts Committee -- which are responsible for accountability.
He said that the government is reluctant from its accountability. Audit Department has unveiled corruption of government, resulting in change of Auditor General and induction of an acting officer on his slot. He said that PAC issued directives regarding NLC and Interior Ministry, but these were not acted upon.
He said that party leadership instructed him to resign from the post of chairman PAC due to unnecessary interference in its working. “I don’t know whether public would laugh or cry but it is sure that Prime Minister would have to weep due to the free media.”
Responding to a question, he said that the PML (N) has the tally of 92 members and if time would come they will stand first of all. He confirmed the reports that property tycoon Malik Riaz met Nawaz Sharif at Murree. He went there to take a message of President Zardari.
