No intention to topple federal govt: Akhtar Mengal

BNP-M leader says party will cooperate with PTI as long as demands are fulfilled

KARACHI: Balochistan National Party - Mengal (BNP-M) leader Sardar Akhtar Mengal on Wednesday said that the party had no intention of toppling the federal government as long as their demands were accepted, Express News reported.



While addressing media in Karachi, the BNP-M leader reiterated that the party would be happy to cooperate with the government if their demands were addressed as promised.

Referring to Tuesday's meeting between opposition parties in Islamabad, Mengal said the alliance between Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif will stabilise the country's political climate.



He added that the party had discussed a six-point agenda with the federal government regarding the presidential election and a nine-point agenda regarding provincial elections.

However, he added that the BNP-M still had reservations on the matter.

Speaking on his alliance with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Mengal had said in October that BNP-M would continue to work with PTI if its demands were fulfilled.
