Pakistan People's Party (PPP) would not accept the use of force on participants of protests of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) parliament at any cost. PPP parliamentary party meeting chaired by former President and Co-Chairperson of the party Asif Ali Zardari stated the country is facing a serious political crisis. It underlined the need that both the PML-N government and PTI/PAT must find a middle way within the ambit constitution to resolve the prevailing political crisis.
Information Secretary Qamar Zaman Kaira told media persons that PPP wants the issue to be resolved before Chinese President Xi Jingpin's visit to Pakistan. He added that China is a very good friend of Pakistan. He said that Asif Zardari has directed the former Interior Minister Rehman Malik to get in touch with all the political parties and play a role on behalf of the party to help resolve the political stalemate. He said that former President has already met Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the Chaudhary brothers as well as Jamiat-e-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq in this regard.
The former information minister also denied the allegation of Dr Tahirul-Qadari against PPP and stated that opposition leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah is a highly respectable for the party and an asset and if "you are angry with Khursheed Shah you must not take the issue too far". He said that PPP is like a family and Qadri should not have make a vitriolic attack on him. According to him, Imran and Qadri have achieved a victory and if they are able to rectify the electoral system it will be a great service to the country. Kaira said Shaheed Zulifqar Ali Bhutto has given constitution to the country, which is symbol of federation.
