Islamabad: Acting President Yousaf Raza Gillani this week said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was ready for talks if the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) was interested.

“We didn’t say at any time, we are not on the side of the government. We are extending full support to the government and engaged in talks with it for joining the government. We will take responsibility. We will support them in all good works,” he said in a media interaction.

Earlier, a PPP delegation called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The delegation comprised of former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, Syed Naveed Qamar, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and Senator Sherry Rehman. The delegation also discussed political situation with the prime minister.
