PPP leader Nasir Hussain Shah closed the door on the possibility of any alliance between his party and the PTI ahead of general elections. Questioned on the veracity of a speculated PTI-PPP alliance he stated, “The PPP has no alliance with the PTI nor is it under any consideration.
“We can’t have an alliance with anyone who conducts politics against the country’s unity [and] who attacked our institutions.” The PPP leader was referring to the violent protests on May 9 that broke out nationwide after the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and saw rioting and vandalism at various spots. Shah said the party’s doors were open for all other political entities and it would talk with everyone.
“Politically, we are in contact with everyone, are contacting them and will contact them. There are many individuals who want to join the PPP but there are issues of space,” he said.—Our Correspondent
