PPP-PML(N) coalition to remain intact in Punjab: Taseer

Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer said on Friday that coalition government of PPP and PML-N will remain intact in Punjab.

Expressing his views in a meeting with a delegation of Peoples Lawyers Forum (PLF) at the circuit house, governor said that PPP could have formed its own government in NWFP but it offered the opportunity to ANP that strengthened political tolerance and national solidarity.

He said, “We removed former President Musharraf with the help of PML-N and other parties and got President Asif Ali Zardari elected in a constitutional manner.”

It will serve as an historical precedent during the future political era.

He said consent resolution adopted during the in-camera session of the parliament on terrorism is a great success of PPP.

Punjab governor said that there will be no compromise on peace and sovereignty of the country and our war will continue till the elimination of terrorism.

He said that people of Punjab are brave and they will fight the menace with courage. War against terrorism is actually the war of survival of Pakistan and it will continue till the elimination of terrorism, Governor said.
