It should be noted that Kaira was a member of the six-member People’s Party committee tasked with holding talks with other political parties. According to Kaira, the PPP will not receive ministries but will instead field candidates for the Parliament and assembly offices. “We would have also worked with the PTI, but the party’s founder has closed that door,” the PPP leader stated. “He has said that the PTI will not hold talks with three parties.” Kaira emphasized that Pakistan needed to make decisions as a group and that Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s animosity towards Asif Zardari was unwarranted.
The PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari had earlier stated that the PPP would lend its support to the incoming government but would not join the federal cabinet. He said the party was constituting a committee in this regard. The PPP committee is made up of Qamar Zaman Kaira, Murad Ali Shah, Saeed Ghani, Nadeem Afzal Chan, Sardar Sanaullah Zehri, and Shuja Khan. “When the parties contest elections, they criticize policies of other parties,” he said. “If the People’s Party or the PML-N will stay away from government formation, Pakistan will enter into a new crisis,” Qamar Zaman Kaira said.
