ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd May, 2018 ) :Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi Wednesday floated the idea of formation of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission with consensus of all the political parties, so that the facts shaping major events in the annals of history could be exposed.
In a tv programme aired by a private news channel (Samaa), the prime minister said that the objective of formation of such a commission would not be to persecute anyone, or to award the punishment, but at least the facts behind the major events could be unfolded before the people.
The prime minister said whatever happened during Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf's sit-in should also be brought before the public. "All this can be possible through formation of a Commission with consensus in the parliament as it was practiced worldwide," he added.
To another question, the prime minister said all the institutions in the country should work under their constitutional domains.
All the institutions including judiciary and National Accountability Bureau should give consideration whether with their acts, they were hampering the functioning of the government, he added.
About the consensus nominee to run affairs of the government during the caretaker set up, the prime minister expressed the hope that the issue could be resolved by Thursday. "If there is no consensus, then the issue will go to the parliamentary parties committee for consideration.
The last forum to address the issue is Election Commission of Pakistan," he added. He reiterated that elections would be held on time. "The country can no longer afford ploys of entering through backdoors," he emphasized. He maintained that any delay caused in the holding of elections would amount to constitutional violation.
