“The battle for power will devastate Pakistan. People want solution of the problems, incompetence will not be allowed”, addressing the upper house of the parliament he emphasized.

Former Senate chairman Raza Rabbani had earlier said that a joint session of the Parliament going to be held on February 08. He suggested that the national anti-terrorism policy should be discussed in the joint session of the parliament.
