Senior federal minister Pervaiz Elahi said on Tuesday that Pakistan Muslim League-Q and Pakistan People’s Party were agree to make new provinces in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhawa and a pact had been finalised between the two parties in this regard.
Speaking in a talk show of a private channel, PML-Q leader said his party and People’s Party would be allies in next general elections and added that the proposed grand alliance had been collapsed.
He said Ch Shujaat Hussain had played a key role to confiscate misunderstandings between PPP and MQM and reconciliation policy of President Asif Ali Zardari would be useful for Karachi.
He added that new provinces of South Punjab and Hazara were mission of his party and PPP would support this challenge.
He further said the government had decided to provide relief to a common man during the holy month of Ramadhan and subsidy would be given on 14 food items in this regard.
