PPP central leader Syed Khurshid Shah has said that his party will not tolerate at all if the PML-N government takes revenge in the guise of accountability. “If the PML-N government holds us accountable, we will support it wholeheartedly, and if it takes revenge in the guise of accountability, we will not tolerate it at all,” he said this while talking to a private TV channel and journalists outside the Parliament House on Saturday. He said that his party would support the good deeds of the new government and discourage all wrongdoings. “Full opportunity will be provided to the government to work, and no hindrances will be created in its way,” he added. On drone strikes, he said that the country should go for a dialogue with the US to stop predator attacks. “The PPP government always pursued the policy of reconciliation and we will now introduce the policy of reconciliation while sitting in opposition benches,” he said. “I will try my best that we take along the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leadership by taking them into confidence,” he remarked. Meanwhile, PPP chief Makhdoom Amin Fahim said that peaceful transition of power would strengthen democracy in the country. The tradition of power transition should continue, he told the media after attending the first session the new National Assembly.
