Showing disrespect to the speaker NA: Khuhro believes Nisar does not deserve to be the leader of the opposition

Karachi: (Friday, May 25, 2012) Nisar Ahmed Khuhro said today that for showing disrespect to the speaker National Assembly on her decision regarding the PM disqualification notice, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan no more deserves to be
the leader of the opposition any more.

Earlier, on Dr Fehmida Mirza’s decision that there were no evidence against the PM due to which the verdict of the Supreme Court could be sustained, Chaudhry Nisar had declared her biased.

Khuhro, who is the speaker of the Sindh Assembly, said that by showing disrespect for speaker’s ruling, the opposition leader has attempted to violate the sanctity of the parliament and thus, he was no more eligible for the post.

Advising the law makers to bring a censure motion against Chaudhry Nisar, Khuhro told the journalists on Friday, “If I was a member of the National Assembly, I would have brought a censure motion against Chaudhry Nisar for his
attitude against the speaker.”

Referring to a book and highlighting example from the commonwealth countries, Khuhro said, “It is a well established parliamentary practice in all commonwealth countries that the speaker of a parliament has the right to interpret
the Constitution and rules, as far as the matter relates to the House.”

He further said, “the speaker was not bound to give reasons for his/her decision. Members can not criticize directly or indirectly, inside or outside the House against any ruling or opinion given by the speaker.”

Resenting his attitude, khuhro termed Nisar as an “illiterate” person for passing remarks against the Sindhi culture.

Replying to a question about a privilege motion moved against Chaudhry Nisar in the Sindh Assembly, Khuhro said that Chaudhry Nisar had shown disrespect for the assembly’s standing committee by not appearing and clarifying his
statements against the Sindh culture. He said, “The Sindh’s privilege committee has the power to make any decision against him if he fails to appear before him.”
