APPROVAL OF FATF BILL IS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE: ABDUL ALEEM KHAN

OPPOSITION’S IRRESPONSIBLE APPROACH ON SENSITIVE ISSUES IS REGRETTABLE

Senior Punjab Minister Abdul Aleem Khan has said that the approval of FATF Bill by the Parliament is an important milestone on which Prime Minister Imran Khan and Members of Parliament deserve congratulations.

    In his response, Abdul Aleem Khan also said that the opposition had once again shown an irresponsible attitude in national affairs, adding that it was very unfortunate to politicize such sensitive national issues. He added that leaders in the opposition parties should have carried out their responsibilities and worked alongside the Government to pass laws related to national security and serious matters. Senior Punjab Minister Abdul Aleem Khan said that protection of personal interests under the guise of constitution making does not befit anyone. PPP and Nawaz League should have participated in constitution making in accordance with democratic requirements. He said that Prime Minister Imran Khan's address to the joint sitting of the Parliament was a reflection of the facts and he would not come under any pressure and would not grant NRO, either. Abdul Aleem Khan further said that by doing so, the present Government has fulfilled its responsibilities and paved the way for securing the country. He said that In Sha Allah, the present Government will continue to achieve such successes on national issues and will continue to take steps in line with the national interests of Pakistan.
