PESHAWAR, Nov 12: President of Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians Makhdoom Amin Fahim has denied striking any deal with the government and said that his party is trying to save the federation which is confronted with lots of problems.
“Government policies are harmful for the very existence of the country. We are trying to save the country and it is the duty of all political parties to protect the federation," said Mr Fahim while talking to newsmen at the residence of Sardar Ali, a former PPP MNA, here on Sunday.
He said his party was aware of its responsibilities and would not like to be guided by the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal “which is playing the role of a friendly opposition”.
He said MMA president Qazi Hussain Ahmed gave a call for agitation against the military regime, but did not invite his party to join. He said he knew that MMA secretary-general Maulana Fazlur Rehman was not prepared for such a move.
"Our party believes in people’s power. It will not strike any deal with military rulers," he said, adding that Benazir Bhutto would return to the country soon after the announcement of general elections.
