ISLAMABAD, Feb 27: Former federal minister and leader of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) Ghulam Sarwar Khan on Wednesday said chief of PML-N Mian Nawaz Sharif’s confrontational politics would soon derail democratic process.

Speaking at a news conference here at the Camp Office of Rawalpindi-Islamabad Press Club, Mr Khan observed that the PML-N would prefer to run Punjab province instead of becoming part of the federal government. In this way it could avoid various controversial issues the central government would face when it formed.

He advised that the country was in a dire need of a national consensus government in order to control the prevailing crisis of oil, price-hike, security, food inflation, wheat, energy and other multiple issues.— Our Reporter
