No immunity be given under NRO: Mian Nawaz Sharif.
LAHORE, December 04, 2009 (Frontier Star): PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz
Sharif has said those involved in seeking loan relief amounting to Rs
100 billion be held accountable adding no general immunity be granted
under National Reconciliation Ordinance. "The elements against whom
loans amounting to more than Rs 100 billion have been written off must
be held accountable. No one should be above accountability nor immunity
be granted to the beneficiaries of NRO", he said this while talking
to ANP leader and federal minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour who called on the
former at his residence in Raiwind Friday. People had pinned high hopes
on the democratic government and political leadership and they wanted
the injuries inflicted by military dictatorship be healed up, he
remarked. People wanted basic amenities be provided to them and peace
prevails in the country and menace of terrorism be countered, he added.
Political forces had rendered unprecedented sacrifices for the ongoing
democratic system in the country, he maintained. Therefore success of
democratic system is corporate responsibility of the government and
opposition, he stressed. But opposition was justified in its stance that
basic facilities of life be provided to the common man, he added. The
pledges made with the people be delivered, national issues be dealt with
through good governance and merit, corruption be uprooted and the guilty
persons be punished in accordance with law, he demanded. No one was
sacred cow and no one was above law on this count, he added. The
strength of democratic success was linked to transparent accountability
system, he observed. "We can address our problems through supremacy
of parliament and adherence to law and constitution. National
sovereignty and reliance on national resources should be hell mark of a
nation", he noted.
