| PPP against Talibanisation, says Qureshi |
| 2007-09-09 |
| Punjab PPP president Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday said that his party was against Talibanisation of the country and believed in democratic process. Addressing a press conference at Punjab PPP general secretary Ghulam AbbasÂ’s house, he said the party would never compromise on principles. He said the party was trying to restore democracy in the country and was ready to talks to any person or any party for that purpose. He said PPP was the first and the last party, which admitted that it had been involved in talks with the government. He said nobody asked those who had supported the presidentÂ’s uniform and helped pass 17th Amendment. He said the party reviewed the position of ticket holders from Lahore division besides welcome arrangements for the party chief on her return. He said Benazir did not believe in politics of confrontation. Instead, she wanted to promote democracy in the country and for that she had rendered countless sacrifices, he said. He said instead of criticising the PPP, the APDM leaders should first review their attitude as the time would tell who was in contact with the government and who wanted a deal at the earliest. He said when a person called the Saudi government for help; it was obvious that Saudis would interfere in the countryÂ’s affairs. He said the PPP candidates would be finalised after the announcement of the election schedule. He said the party was very much against the arrest of political workers and leaders as every political party had a right to participate in political activities. |
