PPP wants no confrontation with judiciary: CEC

PPP wants no confrontation with judiciary: CEC ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party during its Central Executive Committee meeting agreed that the party wants no confrontation with the judiciary and that it will continue to pursue the policy of reconciliation.

This was stated by PPP leader Jehangir Badar while briefing the media following the party’s CEC meeting here on Thursday.

He said balance of power between the Parliament and other institutions must be maintained.

To a question, he said the President has transferred his powers to the Parliament through 18th amendment of the constitution whose decisions will be acceptable to PPP.

When asked to make comment on conspiracies to destabilise the country and role of military and intelligence agencies in it, Jehangir Badar rubbished the same, saying: “It’s nothing more than rumours.”

He said PPP will continue to struggle towards strengthening the democratic process in the country. “The party will continue to carry forward the journey from dictatorship to democracy.”

He eluded the question regarding the appointment of Adnan khawaja as MD OGDCL, saying the party only focuses on policies in broader terms during interaction with senior party leaders and individual cases are not discussed.

When Jehangir Badar was asked as to why Safdar Abbasi was prevented from participating in PPP CEC meeting, he said no such directives were issued by Co-Chairman PPP Asif Ali Zardari and that this must have happened due to miscommunication from either side.
