PPP’s Qamar Zaman Kaira lashes on Shah Mehmood Qureshi  

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)’s Secretary Information Qamar Zaman Kaira said that his party can move the court against the former foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who levelled severe charges against PPP’s leadership including its co-chairman, Asif
Ali Zardari.

While speaking to the media he said, “Party leadership is very tolerant to Qureshi but how long one can be patient”.

Former information minister, Qamar Zaman Kaira also went on to say that Shah Mehmood was violating the constitution by disclosing the sensitive issues of country’s foreign policy as well as security policy in the public gatherings.

He was of the opinion that according to the constitution and oath of his ministry, Shah Mehmood was bound to remain silent about the important secrets of foreign policy but he was disclosing those for political point scoring.

 “Shah Mehmood is also going against his oath and putting the national interest at stake by speaking on sensitive issues in the public which came to his knowledge being a foreign minister of the country,” Kaira held.

 He said that Qureshi could also be legally charged for levelling severe allegations against President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and other high profile party’s leaders. "We can move the court against him (Qureshi) if he continues
targeting our leaders, Kaira maintained.

 To a question regarding Qureshi statement about insecurity of nuclear program under Zardari, PPP spokesperson said that he has gone below the belt and his statements were just meant to political point scoring and creating panic among the masses.

 “After leaving the PPP, Qureshi wants political exposure and to keep himself alive in political scene,” Kaira said adding it is why he was making controversial statements.  

 Replying to a query regarding Qureshi new political destination, Kaira said that he would be a part of history soon, regardless whichever party he joined.

The foreign minister stated that Qureshi would have been with the party right now, if he was given the portfolio of foreign ministry.

He also adopted hard stance over Qureshi’s remarks saying that the Pakistan’s nuclear system was safe under President Asif Ali Zardari when he (Qureshi) was the foreign minister of the country.

Kaira’s remarks came into surface at a time when Shah Mehmood Qureshi stated that the country’s nuclear assets are not safe under Zardari. He also joined hands with Pakistan Threek-e-Insaf.
