Pakistan People’s Party faces isolation in the National Assembly as all major political parties refused to support its resolution against the canal project today.
PPP MNAs including Shabbir Bijarani had signed an anti-canal resolution yesterday to be moved in the lower house, sources said.
Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar said that the PML-N members would not support the resolution against canals in the house at any cost, PPP sources said.
“We will give a policy statement in the house,” he said. “You have to take back the resolution against canals,” law minister said.
The PPP also contacted the MQM but they refused to vote for the anti-canal resolution, according to sources.
