Prime Minister Imran Khan is ready to talk to the opposition for the welfare of the people, said PM Imran’s special aide, Naeemul Haque on Sunday. Haque was speaking at a private TV channel, where he urged the opposition to support the government in solving the problems of the common man.
“We have only three-and-a-half years left,” he said, referring to the government’s tenure. “I urge the opposition to render their full support. If the opposition even hints towards it [cooperation] we will hold talks with them for the benefit of the people.” The statement is an important one considering the government and opposition have been at loggerheads over the past year. Opposition parties have accused the government of using anti-graft body NAB to settle scores. The government, on the other hand, has accused opposition politicians of looting the country’s wealth and stashing it abroad.
Speaking on the recent criticism of the government by its allies, Haque said their concerns were valid.
