Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Shazia Marri has said that the day the PPP withdraws its support from the government, the federal government will also come to an end.
According to details, in a statement, PPP spokesperson Shazia Marri strongly criticized the federal government’s decisions regarding the Pakistan Maritime and Shipping Authority, stating that the federal government is making continuous decisions without taking anyone into confidence and that no consultation was made regarding the establishment of the Pakistan Maritime and Shipping Authority.
She further stated that she has repeatedly emphasized that the federal government enjoys the PPP’s support, but the day the PPP withdraws its support, the federal government will cease to exist. She believes that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) does not seem to realize this.
Shazia Marri added that the federal government is taking decisions without consulting the concerned parties. Both the Sindh government and PPP were kept in the dark about the decisions related to the authority. She also mentioned that several times there was a demand for a meeting of the Council of Common Interests, but 11 months have passed without convening a meeting. This is a continuous and blatant violation of the Constitution.
The PPP spokesperson emphasized that the Prime Minister is bound by the Constitution to convene a meeting of the Council of Common Interests within three months. She suggested that the matter of the Maritime and Shipping Authority should be brought to the Council of Common Interests for discussion.
She questioned whether it is wise for the federal government to make decisions on important matters without consulting its allies and provinces. She expressed that the current approach of the federal government is incomprehensible and that it will further deepen the divide. She concluded by stating that it would be better for the country if the government followed constitutional and legal procedures for the benefit of all.
The opinions of allies and provinces regarding the maritime sector should be taken into account first.
