PTI, PPP form govt, PML-N does not want to crown thorns: Saad Rafique

Lahore: The leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Saad Rafique Saturday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should form the government with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the center.

Two key leaders of the PML-N have publicly opposed their party's efforts to form a government at the Centre, saying the party has no desire to wear the 'crown of thorns' on its head.

The PML-N leader Saad Rafique stated in his late-night post on social networking website X that no one has absolute majority in the current National Assembly.

The formation of the federal government is the joint responsibility of all the parties in the parliament, not PML-N, he added.

He continued to say that the independent members supported by PTI should take the initiative and form the central government together with the Peoples Party.

موجودہ قومی اسمبلی میں کسی کو قطعی اکثریت حاصل نہیں

وفاقی حکومت کی تشکیل مسلم لیگ ن کی نہیں پارلیمان میں موجود تمام جماعتوں کی مشترکہ ذمہ داری ھے

پی ٹی آٸ حمایت یافتہ آزاد اراکین پہل کریں ، پیپلز پارٹی کے ساتھ ملکر مرکزی حکومت بنا لیں

ھم مبارکباد پیش کریں گے

مسلم لیگ ن کو…

Earlier, PML-N leader Javed Latif had wished that PML-N should let those make the government whoever has the majority.
