ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Bilawal Zardari on Monday said the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was ready to contact all the political parties. He said a committee would be formed to contact all the parties.

There are rumours that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants consensus among all the parties on the deal with it so that the next government does not avoid implementing the agreement as the general elections will be held within few months.

All of us should move forward in the parliament in agreement, he added. “All the parties should be united on one agenda. The crisis we are experiencing is a tough test,” he said adding that Pakistan never underwent such a difficult test in the history.
