Pakistan Muslim League (PML) President Chaudhry Shujat Hussain on Thursday advised the government to hold talks with the opposition parties. 

Talking to the media in Lahore, Shujat said the government should hold serious talks with the opposition parties instead of issuing provocative statements. He said his party is a partner in the ruling coalition, but even its good advice to the government is seen with a doubt. 

The PML chief said the situation in the country is at its worst right now therefore government representatives should not take everything as an insult to their ego. He said that some government representatives were saying unacceptable thing just in an attempt to take credit. He said that two and a half years of the incumbent government have passed and those using foul language would start seeing result of their abusive language in a year or so. 

Shujat said the government should initiate formal or informal talks with the opposition. He said the government and the opposition should unite at this moment in the larger national interest. He said the government and the opposition should not listen to people who care more about their personal interest and less about the national interest. He said that people have voted for both the ruling and opposition lawmakers.
