| Confrontation with the president will harm democratic institutions and would result in another martial law, former defence minister Rao Sikandar Iqbal said on Thursday. Rao was speaking to reporters at his residence. He said the coalition of the ruling party was taking the country away from democracy. "Pakistan is facing lawlessness and external aggression, so it is not fair to open any other front that is likely to damage the nation's sovereignty. All we need is to solve the issues and to work in the nation's interest," he said. |
