PPP freezes govt support amid grievances
Qamar says party backing can't be taken for granted
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Syed Naveed Qamar announced on Friday that his party would cease supporting the government in legislative matters until their grievances are addressed. These grievances include issues related to the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections and the appointment of judges. Qamar emphasized that while the PPP continues to support the government, such support is not unconditional.
He stressed that addressing the party's reservations is essential for mutual cooperation. The PPP has previously conveyed these complaints to the government, yet no progress has been made. The party's decision not to support government legislation could complicate ongoing efforts to pass bills requiring PPP support. This latest dispute arises from weeks of tension between the PPP and the PML-N over the conduct of the AJK elections and judicial appointments.
The PPP has accused the government of not adequately addressing their concerns despite previous attempts to raise these issues.
