ISLAMABAD: Senior Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader and Federal Minister for Labour Khurshid Shah today failed to convince JUI-I chief Fazl ur Rehman.
However, the PPP leader invited Fazl ur Rehman for a meeting on December 18th. 'Sacking of the ministers was the prime minister's prerogative and no consultation was done.'
He was talking to media after a meeting with JUI-F chief outside his residence.
In reply to a question, the PPP leader said the ministers were asked to observe discipline but they did not follow the PM's directive and continue mud-slinging against each other.
Azam Swati was instructed to only speak through proper channel but he did not follow. The minister also blamed media for widening the gap between the two coalition partners.
Talking with the journalists outside his residence stood firmed by his decision to quit the coalition government and blamed the ruling PPP for breaking the accord.
He questioned the prime minister’s judgment to fire the minister without consulting the concerned party.
