ISLAMABAD, Sept 15: The nation will hear a “good news” as a result of the recent talks held by chief of the Alliance for Restoration of Democracy with exiled leaders Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif.

This was stated by Pakistan Muslim League-N leader Tehmina Daultana on Monday while talking to reporters here at the Parliament House after the opposition staged walkout from the National Assembly.

Tehmina Daultana, who recently returned from Jeddah after meeting Nawaz Sharif, said Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan’s visit to Britain and Saudi Arabia had been “extremely successful.”

Without elaborating, she said that the ARD chief would give details in this regard himself on his return from a trip to England, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

She went on to term it a major news that would strengthen democracy in the country.

But another source in the ARD, who did not want to be named, said the “good news” that the PML-N politician was referring to could be an agreement between Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif outlining future political policies.

Earlier, acting president of the PML-N and ARD’s parliamentary leader Makhdoom Javed Hashmi said the government was not serious in legislation as it had not even constituted standing committees in the past 10 months.

Without naming Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the ARD leader threatened him not to issue statements against opposition parties otherwise his past role as “an instrument of all governments” would be exposed. “I am giving him a last chance”, he added.

Opposition members, he said, were determined to protect the Constitution and were unwilling to accept Gen Pervez Musharraf as president “with or without uniform.”
