Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday advised opposition parties to merge into a new political party instead of an alliance to contest the upcoming local government elections.
Speaking to the media in Lahore, the federal minister said: They [opposition parties] should merge into one party instead of making an alliance. They should pick [Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana] Fazlur Rehman as their leader and [PPP Chairman] Bilawal Bhutto-[Zardari] and [PML-N Vice President] Maryam [Nawaz] should join the [new political] party.
