"When they fail to resolve issues, they start these things," Khursheed Shah further said.

PPP leader said that the People's Party has given its blood for the democratic system, "The people are real heirs of this country, all of us are their servants," he said.

"We should not move towards fighting, we have to save Pakistan," he said. "The opposition and the government should sit on the table (over the issues)," he added.
