LAHORE: Former Law Minister Babar Awan has said on Saturday that the next budget will offer good news to the public of Pakistan and if not he will support the people of Pakistan, DawnNews reported.

At the Wagah border before leaving for India, Babar Awan said that no differences had developed within the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and that he was still an active member of the party.

Awan hoped that President Asif Ali Zardari’s visit to India will improve relations between both the countries as previously political talks have taken place during personal trips.

Now this is a test of Pakistan and India that how they will take advantage of the opportunity, he added.

Babar Awan also demanded visa policy flexibility between the two countries.

Awan is leaving for India on a ten-day tour on the invitation sent by the various Indian bar association.
