He said that the new system will be acceptable to people of the province. Responding to a question about a possible alliance with the MQM, he said that the government has kept its doors open for the MQM as it does not believe in solo flight. He denied the emergence of a forward block in the PPP, and said that these are just rumours. To a question about resignation of Fakhruddin G Ebrahim he said that he should have resigned earlier when the apex court had changed schedule of the Presidential Election. “Now Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry should also tender his resignation for the same mistake”, he added.
