There is complete harmony and trust among the allied parties of coalition set up and any party that supports the Murree Declaration and Charter of Democracy could be coalition partner at federal level.
This was stated by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz central information secretary and Federal Education Minister Ahsan Iqbal while talking to reporters after the party's top leadership meeting held at Raiwind residence of Nawaz Sharif on Friday.
Ahsan Iqbal said that federal government's formula would be followed in the process of Punjab cabinet formation and every coalition partner will be given portfolios in the Punjab government with the ratio adhered to in the formation of federal cabinet. Ahsan said that the PML-N would soon hold its meeting to finalise names for chief minister, speaker and deputy speaker in the provincial assembly.
Answering a question with regard to MQM, he said no proposal is under consideration to include it in the coalition or to give it ministries at federal level because it does not support the restoration of judiciary. However, he said that the PPP was in dialogue with MQM for coalition in Sindh government only.
All the PML-N ministers who participated in the meeting expressed their commitment that coalition parties would take as a test the Murree Declaration in which they promised with the masses to restore judiciary in its November 2, 2007 status within 30 days.
Ahsan said Nawaz also stressed upon the party ministers to focus on good governance and launch new programmes to comply with the coalition's minimum agenda of 100 days. Answering a question, Ahsan said that coalition parties had consensus that parliament would decide about anti-terrorism policies and all other issues in accordance with people's expectations.
