Protest in parliament is opposition’s right: Awan

LAHORE: Federal Law Minister Babar Awan said that protest in the parliament was the right of lawmakers but expressed the hope that political parties would not repeat the politics of 90’s during the presidential address to the joint session of the parliament on March 22.

Talking to the media here on Sunday, Awan said processions should not be staged in favour or against the decisions of the courts nor the verdicts should be politicised.

He said the PPP would fulfill its responsibility by following the reconciliation policy.

The ruling party would carry on its efforts for democracy as it had sacrificed lives during the struggle for democracy, he added.

Awan said the present government would be the first one which would complete its fourth parliamentary year.

He said that political parties should follow their political agendas and they should avoid horse trading in or out of the parliaments.
