Minister for National Regulations and Services Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has rejected the impression that she intends to join the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). In a statement in reaction to a report published in this paper, Firdous said she could not even think of leaving the Pakistan People’s Party. “Such reports are a conspiracy of ill-wishers of the PPP,” she claimed. “My life and death is associated with PPP and I am more than sure that PPP will win in the coming elections under the leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari. PPP is my home and no sane person leaves his home. Thus it is out of question and those dreaming of our defeat will soon be waked up [sic] with shattered dreams by the results of the coming general elections,” she said.
