Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday has alleged National Assembly (NA) Speaker Asad Qaiser of not performing his duties.
Addressing the NA session, the PPP chief demanded the speaker to issue production order of ex-president Asif Ali Zardari so that he can also participate in the parliament proceedings.
Earlier, Bilawal took to Twitter and appreciated Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) for speaking up for democratic constitutional right regardless of political differences. He said that MQM had demanded to issue production order of former president Asif Ali Zardari on the floor of National Assembly on Tuesday.
Innocent until proven guilty is a right not a privilege, he added.
On June 18, during the session, Speaker Asad Qaiser had asked opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif for budget speech but PPP parliamentarians protested and demanded production orders of Asif Zardari.
Afterwards, several PPP leaders regretted speaker‘s decision of not issuing the production order and announced to hold press conference.
On June 10, Asif Ali Zardari had surrendered himself to a team of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) after Islamabad High Court (IHC) rejected his and his sister Faryal Talpur’s pre-arrest bail plea in the money laundering case.
Following the refusal of bail, a team of anti-corruption watchdog accompanied by police personnel had reached the residence of PPP co-chairman and arrested him. Asif Zardari was taken to NAB office in Rawalpindi where he was shifted to cell no 2.

Pakistan deviated from true destination after wrong policies of ex-rulers: CM Buzdar
LAHORE, June 19 (Online): Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar on Wednesday said that Pakistan deviated from its true destination owing to wrong policies of the previous rulers.
Terming the ex-leaders as culprits, Usman Buzdar said the nation was treated unjustly by exhausting the country’s assets over show-off projects.
“People were deprived of basic rights in the past as the rulers laid stress only on increasing their personal wealth and neglected the masses altogether.
“Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is rectifying the mistakes made by the erstwhile governments. Pakistan is moving towards its true destination under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
“Naya [new] Pakistan is a Pakistan of a common man, and we believe that the national assets belong to the people.”
