The government and the Opposition will meet against today despite a series of failed meetings for finalising the ToRs to probe Panama leaks.

Talking to the media, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah said the PPP would take a final decision on the ToRs if negotiations with the government failed.

He said the government should accept the opposition’s ToRs without changing a word. “The PPP wants to avoid street politics but if the government does not change its stance, we will have to rethink our decision,” he maintained.

Khursheed said that the prime minister in his speech to the nation had presented himself for accountability but now the government was buying time.

He further said that he had communicated the message of the former President Asif Ali Zardari, to Aitzaz Ahsan that the party should move on with the Panama leaks with the consultation of the opposition parties.

The opposition leader also said that he did not see an end to the deadlock between the government and the opposition on the crafting of the ToRs.

To another question, he said the PPP would support the accountability of sitting members of the cabinet and former presidents, prime ministers and ex-ministers.
