PTI spells out terms for alliance with PML-N
2012-04-29
[Dawn] The Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaaf says it may think of joining hands with the Pakistain Muslin League-Nawaz for putting pressure on the government to honour Supreme Court verdicts only if the latter resigns from assemblies.

"If PML-N representatives quit the parliament and provincial assemblies only then we'll assume that the party is serious in launching a drive against the PPP government and PTI may think of making an alliance with it, even on one-point agenda of ousting the government," PTI information secretary Shafqat Mahmood told Dawn on Friday.

He said resignations were a must to judge seriousness of the PML-N, which had "a track record of backing out of its stances".

PML-N information secretary Mushahidullah Khan had said that his party had decided to contact all parties, even government allies, for a joint front to protect dignity of the judiciary and make the government implement its verdicts.

Replying to a query, Mahmood said they were discussing within the party cadres the option of taking on board other parties in the likely anti-PPP government drive, but so far no formal contact had been established on this particular issue.
