The Pakistan Muslim League-N on Sunday said the PPP, PML-N and ANP would finalise a power-sharing agreement in two days. He, however, added that his party would not be a part of any coalition with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
Addressing a press conference here, PML-N's Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said: “The president has made the Army House a hub of conspiracies against political parties by holding regular and unnecessary meetings with PML-Q leaders, which is an insult to the people's mandate.”
The PML-N leader urged President Pervez Musharraf to vacate the Army House and avoid meeting leaders of the party, which had no mandate.
He accused the Election Commission of manipulating poll results and said it had not taken any action on complaints filed by the PML-N and had instead withheld results of some of its candidates.
He said the three coalition partners were heading towards unanimity of views on all issues. It has been decided that we (the PML-N) will support the PPP at the centre and it will support us in Punjab.
Both the parties, he said, were in constant touch to iron out differences on controversial issues. Reiterating PML-N's reservations about the PPP's decision to form a coalition government with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in Sindh, he said his party' support for the PPP was unconditional.
Khan also called for early convening of the National Assembly session, adding the number of coalition members in the lower house had increased to 175 and it would continue to rise in coming days.
