PML-N files requisition to summon NA on Karachi situation

PML-N has filed requisition to summon National Assembly (NA) to hold debate on growing target killing incidents and deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi.
PML-N legislators including Dr Fazal Chaudhry, Malik Ibrar, Anjum Aqeel and Shakil Awan have filed requisition under article 54 (3) of the constitution in NA secretariat bearing signatures of 93 legislators.
They have taken the plea in the requisition that all the political parties of the country including PML-N and people of the country were too much concerned over the worsening law and order situation in Karachi. Innocent citizens were being killed in target killing incidents, therefore, NA session be summoned to hold debate over Karachi situation.
Talking to media men after filing requisition, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry PML-N law maker said they had not filed the requisition after the statement was given by Zulfiqar Mirza but PML-N understands it that situation in Karachi was over deteriorated and government was making no sincere effort to bring normalcy in the situation, he held. Being opposition party it was right of PML-N to divert attention of the house to national issues, he observed.
Federal government and Rehman Malik should give replies to the allegations levelled by Zulfiqar Mirza, he underlined. If government does not give reply to these accusations then 170 million people will consider them true, he remarked.
