Federal Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has asked the opposition to stop staging the “confrontational” politics.
Speaking to media in Islamabad, Chaudhry said, “Political forces do always talk about moving forward by joining hands with each other. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has greeted Barrister Gohar and Asad Qaiser by himself approaching the opposition benches.”
The premier has stressed the importance for holding the talks,” he added.
“The government and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have embraced the goodwill gesture,” he said.
He acknowledged the role of PML-N President Nawaz Sharif in believing in the democratic process, saying, “Nawaz Sharif and others have always tried to find a political solution to the country’s issues.”
Earlier on Thursday, Federal Railways Minister Hanif Abbasi had called on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to approach negotiations with “a clear heart and mind.”
Expressing his thoughts on Samaa TV programme “Nadeem Malik Live” on Thursday, Abbasi said that Khawaja Asif is considerably older than him and that their relations have never been ideal. “You are such a senior politician, yet you accuse your own party [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of operating under a ‘hybrid system,’” he said.
“This current system is not hybrid; I do not accept that. All decisions are taken by the party, and yet you claim I merely follow policy,” he added.
