ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Monday said that the opposition have tried to use parliament as a shield and made a mockery of democracy by confining National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser in his chamber. She made it clear that despite all pressure, Prime Minister Imran Khan would never budge from his principled stance and would never open back-door for providing them any relief. She lamented that the opposition, which has no reasons to justify their viewpoint, started making personal attacks on the prime minister who is an honest person. If the production orders of detained legislators are issued the government would make arrangements for their arrival in the session, she added. She said that now PML-N leadership is calling Asif Zardari a political prisoner, while they themselves kept him in jail for several years.
