Islamabad (Web Desk) Government's spokesperson on legal affairs, Barrister Aqeel Malik on Saturday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been presenting a false narrative against the US for two years and left no stone unturned in getting the anti-Pakistan resolution passed there.
He was addressing a press conference in Islamabad along with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and Member of National Assembly (MNA) Shaista Pervaiz Malik.
Barrister Aqeel Malik said that yesterday Shaista Malik presented a resolution in the House where the uproar of a party against it was sad.
In response to the resolution of the US, our resolution was opposed by this party, he said.
He said that a political party is running a digital terrorism, adding that the PTI has also hired lobbying and PR firms in US.
Barrister Aqeel Malik said that the protection of our country’s flag is the duty of every Pakistani, adding that no Pakistani will compromise on integrity and freedom. He said that
America has never raised its voice against human rights abuse in Kashmir.
Speaking on the occasion MNA Shaista Pervaiz Malik said that firms have been hired in America where anti-Pakistan work is being done.
She said that the government has taken concrete measures for the development of the country and economic stability.
She said that no political party will be allowed to block the development of the country.
“We do not want to spoil relations with any country and want good relations with the US but we do not want America to interfere in our sovereignty,” she said.
Shaista Malik said that everyone should think about the country’s interest instead of their personal interest.
Earlier on Friday, the National Assembly passed a resolution regretting the US House of Representatives' resolution and said that Pakistan as an independent and sovereign country and will not accept any interference in its internal affairs.
The resolution further said that the US resolution clearly reflects an incomplete and wrong understanding of political and electoral process of Pakistan.
It said that the US resolution does not acknowledge the free and enthusiastic exercise of the right to vote by millions of Pakistanis in the February 8 general elections.
The NA reiterated Pakistan's efforts to safeguard and uphold the principles of democracy and norms as enshrined in the Constitution in letter and spirit and in line with the aspirations of the people and vision of the founding fathers of Pakistan.
It expressed the hope that in future the US Congress will play a more constructive role in strengthening Pakistan-US bilateral relations by focusing on avenues of collaboration for mutual benefit of both our people and countries.
The resolution called upon the government of Pakistan to strengthen bilateral cooperation with the US by enhancing channels of communications to allay such misperceptions and work towards harmonious relationships for the progress and prosperity of the people of both countries.
