Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Monday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government wants to hold talks with the opposition for reforms in electoral process and judicial as well as accountability systems. 

On his official twitter handle, the federal minister said this is not possible without negotiations with the opposition. 

However, minister said, the corrupt leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is not interested to discuss any issue except relief in this cases. 

He further added that if the PML-N detaches itself from the ‘Sharif family’, it would be a positive development.  

“The political parties need to change the leadership involved in moral and financial corruption,” added minister. 

Criticizing PML-N’s Supremo, Fawad said that Nawaz Sharif left his workers behind and went to London in difficult times.

“Such a leader not considered respectful,” he said.

اگر نون لیگ شریف فیملی سے خود کو علیحدہ کرتی ہے تو یہ ایک مثبت پیش رفت ہو گی، سیاسی جماعتوں کو اخلاقی اور مالی کرپشن کا شکار قیادت کو بدلنے کی ضرورت ہے نواز شریف ہر مشکل وقت میں کارکنوں کو تنہا چھوڑ کر لندن پناہ گیر ہو گئے ایسے لیڈر کی عزت نہیں رہتی
