LAHORE, July 15: Punjab Finance Minister Tanvir Ashraf Kaira says there is good working relationship between the coalition partners in the province.

Talking to a group of journalists at his office here on Tuesday, he said leaders of the coalition were consulting each other on every issue under the national reconciliation process and no conspiracy would break them apart.

He said enlightened people of the country had rejected the politics of agitation and the present government was committed to redressing the people’s problems on a priority.

He said the opposition was making a futile attempt to exploit non-issues and was engaged in criticism for the sake of criticism. People would not be hoodwinked by such elements who had looted national resources when in power. He said the opposition should extend its unconditional support to the government in the larger national interest.
