Minister informatio urges opposition to review decision to boycott briefing on national security

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry, in reaction to the Opposition's announcement to boycott the upcoming in-camera briefing of the national security committee, said that the decision is unfortunate.

The Opposition parties announced on Thursday their decision not to participate in the meeting to be held on December 6, citing the government's "dictatorial" behaviour as its reason.

Taking to Twitter, Fawad urged the Opposition to review its decision and earnestly attend the meeting.

اپوزیشن کا پارلیمان کی قومی سلامتی کمیٹی کی میٹنگ کا بائیکاٹ افسوسناک ہے، سات دہائیوں میں پہلی بار کوئ حکومت اپنی سیکیورٹی پالیسی پارلیمان کو پیش کر رہی ہے یہ سیاسی معاملہ نہیں بلکہ قومی سلامتی کا معاملہ ہے، اپوزیشن اپنے فیصلے پر نظرثانی کرے اور سنجیدگی سے اجلاس میں شرکت کرے

"It is the first time in seven decades that a government is presenting its policy on national security in the Parliament," he wrote.

"It is a matter of national security, not a political affair," Chaudhry said.
