PML-N leader and former federal minister Khawaja Asif has stressed that it was time political parties think beyond their “personal benefits” and work for the public.

“There can be no economic stability without political stability,” he said at a press conference, lamenting that the current political behaviours were further promoting division in the public.

Regarding the formation of the government, Asif said there was a development in the talks between the PML-N and PPP but stopped short of revealing the details. Regarding the Punjab government, he said PML-N had attained a “comfortable majority” in the province.
