ISLAMABAD, July 11: Pakistan People’s Party spokesman Farhatullah Khan Babar said on Friday that Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani would himself make public the decisions made during meetings with Co-chairman Asif Zardari in Dubai.

Talking to Dawn, he said the PPP had a desire to see the PML-N back into the federal cabinet and the party leadership had started serious efforts in this regard.

Mr Babar expressed a hope that the deposed judges would be reinstated soon and PPP was working on a plan to get them reinstated as early as possible.

He said the cabinet would be expanded even if the PML-N members did not return to the cabinet.

Mr Babar refused to give details about expansion finalised in the Dubai meeting.

He, however, said there was no truth in reports that Sherry Rehman was being removed from the ministry of information. He said there was no reason to replace the information minister as the party leadership believed that her performance was good.

In response to a question, Mr Babar said the PPP did not want to set any deadline for PML-N to return to the cabinet.

He also said that Mr Zardari would soon return home and would meet PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, most probably in Pakistan.
