ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah has said that removing the defence minister due to a pressure from the institution functioning under the latter's ministry would prove "dangerous", as this may also lead to the ouster of prime minister in future.
Talking to media at the Parliament House, the opposition leader suggested that the federal government should induct a new minister in its cabinet and hand over the portfolio of defence to him.
Khursheed Shah said that whatever happened with Hamid Mir was regrettable, however, he added that some people are taking out rallies in favour of the military which should be stopped.
He said clash among institutions is not in favour of the government. He further said those taking out rallies did not contact Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) as they were aware that PPP would not join them in a bid to send the democracy packing.
Shah said that Tahir ul Qadri should hold preaching rallies. He urged all political parties not to play a negative role in sabotaging democracy, saying that they would also get a chance in future to make their governments.
He demanded of the government to hold consultations with the opposition parties over foreign policy and dialogue process with the Taliban.
