| Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Information Secretary Fauzia Wahab asked the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in a press conference on Sunday not to conspire to create differences between the president and the prime minister. She said her party had been following the policy of reconciliation, and that the PML-N should support the PPP in this regard.The newly appointed information secretary said the 17th Amendment would be abolished "at an appropriate time" and that the PPP had distributed a draft amendment among political parties. Fauzia Wahab said the PPP was not in favour of governor's rule in Punjab and wanted the party that had the support of the majority in the provincial assembly to form government. She also said rivals of the PPP had been conspiring to eliminate the party from Punjab. To a question, she said former information minister Sherry Rehman was asked to accept another portfolio or step down. She said the PPP government was not against the freedom of media but added that the media should behave responsibly. |
