SLAMABAD: Minister for Defense Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Friday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Nawaz Sharif will reach the country before the end of the current year.
Talking to media, Khawaja Asif has given hint for negotiation with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) while the defence minister said that if the PTI during its long march were crossed the limit the law will come to action.
Khawaja Asif said that the state will protect rights of common citizens.
He said flood victims should be compensated timely and without any prejudice.
Responding to a point of order on the floor of the National Assembly, he made it clear that neither the federal nor the provincial governments were distributing flood relief goods on the basis of party affiliation.
The minister said if there was any sort of distinction in some areas, it should be sorted out on priority adding that he would bring the matter into the limelight of the federal cabinet to address the grievances of the respective colleague of the house.
He also mentioned that because of the winter season, it would be quite difficult for the flood victims to spend nights under the open sky.
He said it was the responsibility of the government to provide them shelter before the temperature reaches freezing point.
The government also had given a package for farmers, particularly in those areas which were severely affected by the monsoon rains and flash floods.
