Federal Minister for Defense, Pervez Khattak Wednesday said the parliament was symbol of aspirations of 220 million Pakistanis and important pillar of the modern democratic state
He said the conduct of parliamentarians and the House performance strengthen the supreme institution of the country, said a press statement issued here.
Khattak said that it was the highest forum to discuss important issues and legislation was done for public welfare and on other important issues after detailed debate.
He said that no legislation could get final shape without approval of the respected parliament after holding debate on it, adding the parliamentarians being representatives of people have important responsibility inside the House.
He said the government wanted to uphold dignity of parliament which unfortunately lost its prestige due to character assassination, mud-slinging and political hobnobbing in the past instead of debating on key national issues.
The Minister said that all the parliamentarians had been warned of the past bad practices and his speech in this regard was a clear indication for the House to determine its direction and fulfill its responsibilities.
Khattak said that not only the parliamentary language should be adopted in the House but also stressed upon senior parliamentarians to share their experiences with fresh legislators.
He urged the Opposition Leader and other members to present their suggestions for the welfare and prosperity of the people in the countryso that prompt measures could be taken.
