Federal Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) had not doled out any formula and package to Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), rather negotiations were underway to strengthen ties between the PPP and PML-Q. She was talking to media after presenting a cheque of Rs 0.5 million to the widow of famous poet Habib Jalib at Mustafa Town, Wahdat Road on Sunday.
“We have not prepared nor presented any package to PML-Q,” she said, adding that both PPP and PML-Q had fine tuned their relations and were heading to get close to each other. She said if the constitution had any slot for deputy prime minister, PML-Q would have demanded it. She said neither constitution possessed such portfolio nor time was available to create it by amending the constitution.
She clarified that she and Faryal Talpur attended the Walima ceremony of Shujat Hussain’s son to express good wishes and did not talk
about politics.
