The opposition leader in the National Assembly, Mahmood Khan Achakzai, has accused the parliament of remaining silent in the face of a global crisis. Speaking in the assembly, he said that the parliament has not condemned Iran’s aggression and is moving towards a war-torn region without taking any action. According to him, the parliament was formed on the basis of power and influence, and it is not capable of running the country in the current circumstances.
Achakzai said that the opposition wants to speak out against the rising petrol prices, but the assembly is adjourned, and this is not acceptable to the people. He also expressed his concerns about the country’s economic situation and the need for the government to take immediate action to stabilize the economy.
The Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly responded to Achakzai’s statement, saying that if the opposition brings a resolution condemning Iran’s aggression and agrees to pass it, it will be passed. However, he added that it is the responsibility of the opposition to take the initiative.
