Responding to a question regarding Khan’s demand for politicians to declare their “actual” assets, he said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) members have already done so.

While not dismissing reconciliation with their new rivals in the province, he said that the PML-N is ready to hold talks on a one point agenda – of removing the government and eradicating corruption – with PTI and other parties including Jamaat-i-Islami.

He also said that the PML-N may launch a long march after Eid, building upon their "Go Zardari go" anti-government protest.
