The Defence Minister says they have been given mandate but their mandate often comes under attack.


Islamabad: Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that arbitration is not the job of the Supreme Court, saying that they are being ordered by the top court to hold talks.
“Nobody served the nation as much as we did,” said the defense minister while talking on the floor of the National Assembly.
The Minister said the parliament is the supreme institution and being defender of the constitution will not allow any extra constitutional step.
He said the parliament will not surrender its authority. He said we should get united for the sanctity and dignity of the house by rising above our differences.
The Defense Minister said the elected representatives come to the parliament with the mandate of the people. He said the foundation of our career is based on public service.
He said the Supreme Court has sought proceedings of this house which are not hidden from anybody. We should provide the court with the proceedings but the parliament should also seek record of their matters.
Khawaja Asif said we are holding dialogue with our opponents but it does not come in the precinct of the court to dictate us for negotiations.
The Defense Minister said that a house committee should also be constituted to examine the cases decided by the judiciary in the past. He said the facts should come before the masses.
