No support for violation of Charter of Democracy: Awan

Babar Awan says his party does not need horse trading to prove its majority nor will it do so.

Federal Law Minister Babar Awan on Wednesday said the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will not support violation of the Charter of Democracy and further rejected the option of holding mid-term or short-term elections.

Addressing the oath taking ceremony of the elected body of Supreme Court Press Association, Awan said his party does not need horse trading to prove its majority nor will it do so.

He said the party will not leave the government before completing its tenure.


Meanwhile, Interior Minister Rehman Malik, on the same day, said he does not believe in giving deadlines in politics.

Talking to media outside the Parliament House, Malik said deadlines are given in school exams not in politics.

He said that the federal cabinet approved the 10-Point agenda given by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) because the government and the PML-N share many of the same goals.

The minister added that national unity and consensus is must in dealing with current problems in the country.
