LAHORE, Jan 16: The PML (Jinnah) proposed on Thursday that the government and opposition parties should resolve through talks differences on the status of the Legal Framework Order and other controversial issues.

Through a resolution adopted at a meeting of the party’s national working committee, the participants also underlined the need for greater national cohesion to be able to thwart Indian designs.

Saeed Ahmed Khan Manais presided over the meeting held at the residence of Mian Manzoor Ahmad Wattoo.

A resolution said that political motives were behind the murder of former law minister and provincial PML (Jinnah) president Chaudhry Muhammad Farooq. The government, it said, should bring the facts to light.

The resolution said that Chaudhry Farooq had no personal enmity with anyone.

The participants praised the government’s decision to give free education up to matriculation, bring down electricity tariff, give a package for agricultural loans and grant proprietary rights to residents of slums.

Malik Haider Usman, Mian Waheed, Robina Shaheen, Ghulam Asghar Khan and Moazzam Jehanzeb Wattoo were among participants.
