Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has delayed his projected visit to Karachi to sort out the growing tensions with Sindh government over extension of powers of Rangers.
Nisar was assigned to visit Karachi this week at a meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah last week.
He was asked to address the reservations of Sindh government over the issue of extension in powers of the paramilitary force to act without prior permission of the provincial government in cases relating to corruption and facilitating funding for terrorists.
Meanwhile, seeing a "growing trust deficit between the federal government and provinces", Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khurshid Shah has questioned why the session of the Council of Common Interests (CCI) is not being called.
He contended that if someone went to the Supreme Court with an issue and an order is passed for its resolution, what would be the status of the legislature.
"What will then be the need for this institution (parliament)? There should be no ifs and buts with regards to compliance with the constitution," he said. He charged the centre was avoiding parliament as well as the constitution with regard to key national and world issues.
Shah said Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces had very serious issues with the federal government, being reflected in the media too, and Punjab and Balochistan also have those issues, but since the ruling PML-N had governments there, these had not hitherto surfaced in the public.
After the question hour, in the National Assembly, Shah rose to accuse the government of ignoring the constitution and not taking parliament seriously. He referred to the vacant seats of the majority of the treasury benches. This thin presence of lawmakers ultimately led to early adjournment of the sitting due to a lack of quorum.
