PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar has said that the process of national reconciliation means that political parties should not have any “personal enmity” amongst them.

Speaking on the floor of the Senate, the former finance minister recalled negotiations with the PTI to end its 2014 Islamabad sit-in.

Dar said, “Reconciliation means that we should not have any personal enmity. We are working for the system [and] for Pakistan and with that spirit, if there is something against our national interest, then we should definitely stop each other.”

“Charter of Democracy and Charter of Economy are the need of time,” the PML-N stalwart asserted.
