Khurshid Shah, while talking to the media in his chamber, said that the opposition could not hold its horses now as the nation would accuse it of colluding with the alleged corrupt government after ’cutting a deal’.
Separately, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq is of the opinion that Panama Leaks issue would not be resolved through Prime Minister s speech in the National Assembly but the government needed to enter a dialogue situation with the opposition over Terms of References (TORs).
