Islamabad:

PML-N senator Irfan Siddiqui has shot speculation about the PPP jumping ship from the reigning coalition and claims the party is not intended to throw the country into yet another political crisis.

During an interview with a private news channel, Siddiqui said PPP “didn’t want the country to go into another crisis” by withdrawing from the Government Alliance.

“If the National Assembly dissolves, we would go against another instability and another choice would be required. If elections are held here [in NA]What would happen in the provinces?

“So the country would then go into another crisis. My opinion is that considering how Pakistan is leading out of difficulties, PPP would not have the country going against a crisis again,” he said.

His remarks came in response to a question about PPP that potentially left the coalition by refusing to support the upcoming federal budget.

Siddiqui acknowledged that the possibility of PPP going away remained real. “Without a doubt, if PPP decided even today ‘, we do not support the government’, then we can be voted out tomorrow because PML-N has not [simple] majority.”

However, he emphasized that neither PPP nor PTI could form a government alone in view of their failure to secure a simple majority at last year’s parliamentary elections.

The senator confirmed the need to maintain PML-N’s agreement with PPP.

“PPP has one [history] Of democratic struggle, it wants to maintain parliament and not put the system into chaos. National Interests are dear for that [and] It does not want to carry out violence policy.

“So in all these aspects, [the PPP] is now instinctively very close to us (PML-N), no matter what our ideologies are. “

Siddiqui recognized PPP’s reservations and said there was an effort to tackle them, with a committee set up under Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar.

“We will definitely solve these reservations,” he claimed.

It is relevant to note that in January the PPP Central Executive Committee (CEC) demanded that the federal government had long -term voting in the local governments of Punjab and Islamabad, in accordance with its agreement with the reigning coalition.

The party has also repeatedly raised concerns about the construction of controversial channels in Punjab’s cholistan region.

It has called for an urgent meeting of the Council for Common Interest (CCI), which has been in Limbo for 11 months, and calls for the channel question to be put on the table.
