Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Information Secretary Faisal Kareem Kundi has said that his party was only playing an advisory role in the coalition government, while all the decisions, financial or otherwise, were the prerogative of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Express Tribune reported on Monday.
Kundi claimed that whenever the PPP, which is the second largest party in the coalition after the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) comes to power at the Centre, only then would it take decisions of its choosing.
“The PPP is limited to an advisory role only. The party gives advice when and where it is needed,” Kundi said, adding that “The decisions are the prerogative of the prime minister and his party.”
Former president and PPP Co-Chairman Asif Zardari had claimed just a few days ago that his party will come to power in 2023 and he would turn Pakistan around “110 per cent”.
He warned that if the current government failed to provide relief to the people regarding load shedding, rising inflation and price hike, while the dollar continued to rise, they would lose the goodwill of the people who would see this government’s performance through the same lens they saw the previous government.
Asked if the PPP was satisfied with the handling of economy by the current regime, he said it was too early to say. He added that the government needed a few months’ time to perform before any opinion could be reached.
