WASHINGTON, Dec 5: PPP senator Dr Abdullah Riar urged Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali to resolve the current constitutional impasse or resign.

Talking to journalists in Washington on Friday, he said if the prime minister is unable to break the stalemate, “he should choose an honourable exit and resign.”

Mr Riar said that in his meetings with the opposition, the prime minister has always claimed that he would bring about a timely resolution of the crisis.

The treasury benches, he said, were equally responsible, along with President Pervez Musharraf, for failing to find a workable settlement of the differences that divide the two sides.
