HYDERABAD, July 24: The central coordination secretary of the PML (N), Labour Wing, Shabbir Ahmad, has accused the government of trying to divide the PML (N) and the PPP into different groups and said this will be harmful for the country.

He was talking to various delegations of industrial workers, banks and financial organizations during his visit to Hyderabad here on Tuesday.

He said by bringing “failed” politicians to the forefront through different alliances, the government could not fill the political vacuum in the country.

The PML (N) leader urged the government to invite Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto for talks and let the people to choose their representatives in the October election.

He said when the rulers were prepared to enter into a dialogue with India there was no reason why they should not hold talks with the leaders of two main parties of the country.

Mr Ahmad said if the rulers did not realize the ground realities, the country would be plunged into chaos.
