Pakistan Needs Consensus, Not Criticism: Sherry

ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Sherry Rehman has criticized PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif for attacking the PPP-led government in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks.

“It is unfortunate that the leadership of a major political party, which we want to work with for rebuilding democracy and overcoming challenges, chooses a sensitive time to launch an attack on the government when the country needs national unity and consensus,” the minister said while talking to reporters outside National assembly here Friday.

Sherry urged all the political leaders in the country to step aside their political differences, as it is the need of the hour to unite.

“We don’t wish to trade in a war of words as that will not benefit our citizens who seek stability and maturity from their leadership right now,” she said, appealing to all political leaders to remain united leaving aside their political differences because the situation demands unity.

Rehman also said that Nawaz Sharif is a part of the government as his party heads a coalition government in the biggest province of the country.

She said that the country is governed by a government, which is elected by the majority of people and has full support of them.
