Federal Minister for Political Affairs Maula Bakhsh Chandio said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) introduced the policy of reconciliation in national politics for the sake of democracy.
He said many alliances had been formed against the PPP in the past and formation of new alliance against the party is “not news for us”.
“We are ready to hold talks with anyone including MQM,” he said.
“PPP will repeat history in Sindh and we will work with our alliance partners,” he said.
PPP is not afraid of nationalists and the matter will become clear with the passage of time, he added.
In response to a question, he said ANP and MQM are still in support of PPP and ideological politics still exists in Pakistan. “It is mere propaganda that ideological politics has no room in Pakistan,” said the minister.
He said voters still consider PPP as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s party and ideology is PPP’s strength.
He said the elections would be held on time in a free, fair and transparent manner under the banner of an independent election commission.
The minister said the PPP-led government succeeded in strengthening democracy in the country and the opposition had also played a positive role in this regard.
