Pakistan should not beg India for talks: PML-N

Islamabad, Aug 6 (ANI): The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has said that Islamabad should not beg New Delhi for talks.

"We should tell India if they are not ready for talks then Pakistan is also not eager to enter any talk process," Leader of the Opposition Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told the House in categorical words.

Chaudhry Nisar was referring to the talks between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani.

He harshly criticised the Indian leadership and its parliament for raising objections and criticising the decision of the Lahore High Court regarding release of Hafiz Saeed.

"We have an independent judiciary and the Indian government or its parliament has no right or justification to raise finger on its verdicts," The News quoted him, as saying.

Chaudhry Nisar also said that the government had failed to promote good governance as the media was talking about lack of transparency in government institutions and many big organisations like PIA, Pakistan Steel and Sui Gas are on the verge of disaster.

"PIA has liabilities of Rs140 billion but 6,000 dismissed employees have been re-hired," the PML-N leader pointed out. (ANI)
