Pakistan People’s Party following its ouster from the Punjab Government claimed that serious and sincere steps were taken for implementation of the 10-point agenda presented by Pakistan Muslim League-N and claimed that 100 percent progress was made on most of the points.
“Pakistan People’s Party did not drag its feet because this 10-point agenda is our agenda and it is also part of our manifesto,” PPP central leader and Federal Minister for Inter-provincial Coordination, Senator Raza Rabbani argued while addressing a press conference.
Federal Law Minister Babar Awan, former information minister Qamar Zaman Kaira, PPP leaders Tanvir Ashraf Kaira and Raja Riaz were also present on the occasion.
Raza Rabbani, however, said PPP would now play the role of active opposition in the Punjab.
Earlier today, PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif, at a press conference, announced to oust PPP ministers from the Punjab cabinet after inconclusive talks with the government on implementation on 10-point agenda.
Raza Rabbani presented in detail the position of PPP in connection with the progress made on the 10-point agenda put forth by PML-N.
“I was disappointed when it was said that no progress was made on the 10-point agenda and that even a 30 progress would have been considered reasonable,” he said.
He argued that the PPP-led government took up with utmost sincerity and seriousness all the points of PML-N agenda and also claimed that 100 percent progress was made on most of these points.
“People’s Party always believed in the policy and politics of reconciliation and took all the major decisions jointly by taking all its coalition partners on board,” Raza Rabbani said.
