[Pak Daily Times] The Swiss cases saga on Thursday put Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khurshid Shah against each other in the House when the former declared that he does not care if confrontation with the opposition party grows on this issue.Nisar, responding to Shah's objection over constitution of a two-member committee to probe the second letter written to Swiss authorities, stated, "If confrontation intensified then let it be. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
don't distort the facts." Otherwise cool and calm Khurshid Shah warned the government that it was going to have a clash with the PPP again. "The government seems to be losing patience by reopening the Swiss cases," he observed.
"We created a reconciliatory atmosphere in our government but the PML-N after taking over is looking intolerant," he said, adding that the PPP government did not raise the issue of Hudaibiya Paper Mills, in which the Nawaz family was accused.
Shah said that past mistakes must be set aside if we wanted to move forward together. He was also sceptical about the withdrawal of security from the Senate chairman, who he said was number two in protocol after the president and the prime minister.
Chaudhry Nisar said the Swiss cases were legal, and that the government had not asked the court to take notice of the matter.
He rejected Shah's claim and said the PML-N had never excused PPP over the cases.
