Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Hassan Murtaza on Friday made it clear that his party was connected with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) through the hybrid-sharing formula, not the power-sharing.
Addressing a press conference, Murtaza said: Speaking about the PPP's triumph in NA-171, Murtaza said: "The PPP has bludgeoned the negative mindset in NA-171."
He rebuked the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, "Even today, we are of the view that the PTI should not be allowed to stage the public gathering."
"It was absolutely inappropriate to resort to the tactics of the hooliganism during the public gathering," Murtaza maintained.
He admitted that the relations between the PML-N and PPP were not "exemplary" in Punjab.
"I would like to say to the PML-N leadership that situation in the country is not too good," he added.
Stressing the need for political cohesion, Murtaza said: "The country cannot be dragged out of the current doldrums single-handedly."
He asked the Punjab government to take the PPP on board in decisions pertaining to the policies in the province.
