Addressing a press conference here alongwith PPP Punjab’’s Senior Minister Raja Riaz he reiterated that PPP would continue its reconciliation policy in the province. However, the minister announced bringing the PPP Parliamentary Party’’s 19 points reforms agenda in the Federal Committee which is constituted for the implementation of PML-N’’s 10 points agenda. “A single party cannot decide the entire country’’s fate,” urging that all political parties should work together for the betterment of the country.

The minister stated that there is no deadline in politics and decisions can be taken by consultation but not by dictations.

PPP have given two names for the implementation of said agenda which includes Tanveer Ashraf Kaira and Ashraf Sohna, he added.
