APP ADDS: Dr Shahbaz Gill, spokesperson to Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar, has said that the opposition should be grateful for the freedom of expression in the current setup which was rare in the past.Talking to a private news channel, he said Asad Umar had not only pointed out the flaws in budget rather he suggested the government to find out the real cause behind raising the price of sugar, adding it is called the beauty of democracy that an important leader of the ruling party raised his voice to correct the mistakes."In fact, opposition parties cannot digest the fair democratic system in the parliament as both had set the wrong examples in history and ruined the sanctity of the parliament," he stated. "Opposition leaders should praise the given freedom of speech as it is unprecedented," he commented.Replying to a question, he said former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was not given a clean chit by the courts rather he was convicted and punished, adding he said the opposition leaders must confess their wrong doings only then the government would consider them true political leaders.
