LAHORE: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has said that the country’s political situation, after a dialogue process with the Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) and other parties, will be clear within a couple of days.
Talking to media representatives at the Allama Iqbal International Airport here on Friday, she said the Pakistan People’s Party-led government wanted to keep all parties including the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) on board, as that was in the country’s interest.
Responding to a question, she said the PML-N had left the coalition government, adding that the PPP was still following the politics of reconciliation and dialogue.
The minister said that it was part of the policy of the PPP-led government and a hallmark of politics that dialogues among the PML-Q and other parties with the government were in progress.
She said the country was facing various challenges including security issues, drone attacks, threat to its sovereignty and national unity, so the government was taking all parties on board to meet these challenges.
To a question on the emerging political situation, she said many proposals had been discussed in the dialogue between the PPP and the PML-Q and the details will be made public after the two sides reached a consensus.
