Shazia Marri, Central Spokesperson of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP), has strongly reacted to recent statements made by certain federal ministers, terming them “irresponsible” and accusing them of fueling unrest and uncertainty.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Marri said that some federal ministers were promoting division and disorder through their remarks, which she described as highly inappropriate and detrimental to national cohesion.
She asserted that Karachi is and will always remain a part of Sindh, adding that those advocating division were deliberately attempting to create instability and disrupt the environment. Such statements, she warned, could undermine national unity.
Referring to the resolution tabled in the Sindh Assembly, Marri maintained that it was presented strictly in accordance with the Constitution and the rules of procedure of the assembly. She emphasized that in a parliamentary system, a resolution reflects the collective opinion of the House, and expressing such collective will is a constitutional and democratic right of elected representatives.
Marri further stated that federal ministers are expected to possess a basic understanding of the Constitution and parliamentary rules. “They are required to demonstrate responsibility and constitutional adherence, not incitement,” she said, cautioning that irresponsible statements could pose a threat to national harmony and stability.
She called upon the federal government to clarify its position regarding the conduct of its ministers, warning that silence would only embolden elements seeking to spread discord. Marri also urged the Prime Minister to take immediate notice of the statements made by members of his cabinet and ensure responsible conduct.–
