HYDERABAD, Feb 11: PML (QA) leader Liaquat Jatoi has dispelled the impression that his party had entered into any deal with the government.
Talking to newsmen at his Latifabad residence on Monday, he hoped that his party would emerge victorious.
Mr Jatoi said that deals were signed in business and not in politics and reiterated that he had not returned to Pakistan under any deal.
He said that he had not allotted a single inch of land to any one when he was the chief minister and no FIR had been registered against him.
Answering a question about election alliance, he said that some understanding could possibly be reached with the Sindh Democratic Alliance.
About the merger of various factions of the Muslim league, Mr Jatoi said that the central leadership of the party could take a final decision in this regard.
He said that the condition of graduate for the national assembly candidates should be postponed in view of the low literacy rate.

He said that due to its misdeeds, the PPP had lost its popularity and the coming elections would prove the fact.
The government had taken some good steps which must be acknowledged, he said.
Mr Jatoi said that national integrity should be our only priority, as the Indian forces were massed on our borders.
He also spoke at a function hosted in his honour in GOR colony on Sunday night.
