Kaira asks Nawaz to focus on elections instead of long march

:Pakistan People’s Party Information Secretary and former federal minister, Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Wednesday that PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif should focus on the next general elections instead of long march as it would be useless.Talking to media at Allama Iqbal international Airport here before leaving for India, he said that staging long march was right of everyone but the PML-N president should give causes for it and tell the masses if it was for toppling the government.

He said the PPP wanted stability in the country and it was effort of the government and the party to resolve issues of the nation by taking all parties on board.
He advised Mian Nawaz Sharif “to resolve problems within the PML-N and to prepare for the next elections which were only only one-and-half year away.”
To a question, he said that dead-locks in the alliances were a normal thing and democracy itself resolves such issues.
Kaira said the PPP-led government always said that national interests and not the US interests were its priority and questioned what would the critics of the government say now when there was tension between the two countries.
He said that Pakistan did not want any kind of tension with any nation of the world.
To a question, he said the PML-Q was a coalition partner of the PPP the leadership of the two parties would decide how to participate in the next general elections.
