The Pakistan government is ready for dialogue only with the serious-minded leadership of the opposition but PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz should not be part of the process, announced federal Minister for Information Senator Shibli Faraz on Monday.

“National dialogue is part of politics and the forum for such a dialogue will be parliament, as it represents the people’s will. But both Maryam Nawaz and Maulana Fazlur Rehman are not part of the parliament, therefore they will be excluded from the process,” he said while expressing the government’s resolve at a press conference.

Accompanied by Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry and Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda, Senator Faraz lashed out at the opposition parties, saying that PML-N was formed by retired Gen Gilani. He said the opposition leadership believed that if they won, the elections were free and fair but if someone else won, elections had been rigged.
