Islamabad : The Pakistani Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Thursday said there was no hurdle in talks with chairperson of Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Benazir Bhutto and everything was going in right direction.
According to an understanding between the two sides, PPP would abstain from voting in the forthcoming presidential elections, but would not resign from assemblies, Sheikh Rashid said at a local TV program.
The ruling party Pakistan Muslim League-Qaid, of which Sheikh Rashid is a member, and its allied parties had enough votes to reelect the president and there was no need of any other party’s votes, Sheikh Rashid said, adding that PPP cooperation was needed for the credibility of the election.
Benazir Bhutto would participate in the upcoming general elections and all other things would be decided after the elections, Sheikh Rashid said.
