Caretaker Information Minister Arif Nizami on Sunday hoped that the incoming PML-N-led government would take steps to resolve the issues.
It was a good sign that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership was showing political maturity‚ he added.
In a media interview‚ Nizami said that new government had to develop political consensus to resolve challenges to the country, including economy and terrorism.
He said negotiations with the Taliban would be held under the limitations of constitution. Nizami praised the former PPP-led government for introducing amendments in the constitution to strengthen the state institutions‚ adding that no political victimisation was made in previous regime.
To a question‚ he said the PML-N had played a role of strict opposition during former regime. He said that people had rejected the slogan of southern Punjab in general elections‚ adding that the people had given the mandate for a strong Pakistan.
He suggested the political stakeholders to introduce the policies which remove the chances of political confrontation in the country.
He hoped that opposition in National Assembly, comprising of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would play a responsible role in the House. The opposition could ensure the accountability of the government‚ he added.
