Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khurshid Shah has said that his party wishes the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government to complete its constitutional tenure, however, the steps taken by the present government are not in favour of the country and its people.
Talking to media persons here on Sunday, Khurshid Shah said despite inauspicious decisions made by the government, the PPP would not create disturbance in law and order through violent protests and politics of rampage.
He said the PPP desired peace in the country and resolution of problems faced by the countrymen. He said the party was ready to extend all support in this regard.
The opposition leader said some elements wanted to revive the politics of past decades but the PPP was showing great patience in the larger interest of the country and its people.
Khurshid Shah said his party had offered a lot of sacrifices for democracy, therefore, it would oppose any conspiracy to derail it.
“We want to avoid the politics of ‘Go, Go’ as it increases hatred among the masses affiliated with various political parties and often results in violence,” he said.
“Had the PPP moved to streets along with the PTI against alleged rigging in elections, what would have happened in the country,” he questioned.
The opposition leader expressed hope that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to US would be fruitful.
He said Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had now stepped in in active politics and would lead the party to take it to new heights of popularity among the masses.
