Islamabad: The PML-N president and opposition leader in the National Assembly (NA) Shahbaz said today was an important day for Pakistan’s history as the Opposition had “united on the same page after decades.”
Shahbaz Sharif was addressing the presser called by Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) along with leaders of PPP, JUI-F, BAP, BNP Mengal.
He thanked MQM-P for taking the important decision to solidify the alliance in the “interest of the Pakistani people”.
Shahbaz also appreciated Zardari and Bilawal for starting a “new journey” with Siddiqui and the MQM-P.
Shahbaz noted that last night, the Opposition was almost about to strike an agreement with the MQM-P, but at the last minute, the Siddiqui-led party said they had some other reservations as well.
“Bilawal and Zardari took Siddiqui to a separate room and within 20 minutes, they resolved all the issues,” the Opposition leader claimed.
“And after that, all elders signed the agreement. This has set a very good precedent.”
The PML-N leader said that the agreement was the “case” of the 220 million Pakistanis that the united Opposition, along with BAP and MQM-P, has decided to fight.
“I believe that as per democratic principles, even if the PM is selected and has lost his majority, he should resign and establish a new tradition,” the leader of the Opposition said.
