Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader and former federal minister Khawaja Asif has stressed that it was time political parties think beyond their \u201cpersonal benefits\u201d and work for the public. \u201cThere can be no economic stability without political stability,\u201d he said at a press conference, lamenting that the current political behaviours were further promoting division in the public. Regarding the formation of the government, Asif said there was a development in the talks between the PML-N and PPP but stopped short of revealing the details. Regarding the Punjab government, he said PML-N had attained a \u201ccomfortable majority\u201d in the province. Khawaja Asif has said the decision to nominate Shehbaz Sharif as the prime minister was that the latter had greater experience in dealing with the coalition government. \u201cBut rest assured, Nawaz Sharif will remain our quaid and the coin will always be in his hand,\u201d he asserted. Former opposition leader in National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz leader Raja Riaz claimed that former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif and PPP-co chairman Asif Ali Zardari have finalised the terms of government formation. In an interview with a private news channel Raja Riaz claimed not to take the PPP and PML-N committees seriously as matters related to government formation have already been decided between former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif and PPP-co chairman Asif Ali Zardari. He revealed that all of them (PPP) would be seen in the cabinet along with PML-N and if they denied they wouldn\u2019t be able to form government in Sindh too. Riaz said that he accept his defeat in the recent election held across Pakistan however he questioned former interior minister Rana Sanaullah\u2019s defeat saying that he was PML-N\u2019s strong candidate in election 2024. Commenting on the Maulana Fazlur Rehman\u2019s statements, Raja Riaz said that JUI-F chief held a meeting with him and informed him about support on no-confidence motion from several people. Now he revealed that Qamar Bajwa was behind the ouster of Imran Khan so he said the truth, Riaz added. It is pertinent to mention here that government formation in the centre suffered another blow as the Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) again categorically denied being part of the federal cabinet saying that the party would vote for the PML-N\u2019s prime minister nominee. \u201cBut the Bilawal Bhutto Zardari-led party\u2019s members would not hold any ministry or portfolio in the federal cabinet either.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
