PPP will not back new government laws after a disagreement.

PPP – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Ahead of the next National Assembly session, the federal government made another effort to gain parliamentary support by contacting the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
The political impasse between the coalition partners has gotten worse, though, as the PPP has once again declined to back the government in any legislative issues.
According to people with knowledge of the situation, the government asked the PPP for assistance with important legislative agendas but was unsuccessful in gaining their support. According to reports, the PPP leadership stated unequivocally that it would not support any legislation that the ruling coalition sponsored.

According to party sources, the PPP would not actively participate in legislation but would symbolically attend parliamentary sessions.

“The PPP will not support the government in any legislation,” a source confirmed, adding that this stance reflects the party’s growing dissatisfaction with how the federal government has handled provincial coordination.

PPP sources also stated that if the political situation in Punjab worsens, the responsibility would rest solely on the Punjab government.

Earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari personally intervened to ease mounting tensions between the Sindh and Punjab governments following a heated exchange over flood relief efforts. The dispute, which began with criticism over mismanagement, has evolved into a public war of words and even a debate challenge between top provincial leaders.

According to officials, President Zardari spoke with Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi by phone to discuss the widening rift between the two provinces. He has also summoned the minister to Karachi for an urgent consultation on the matter.

Zardari stressed the need for dialogue and coordination at both federal and provincial levels, emphasising that political differences should be resolved through communication rather than confrontation. The president is expected to review the issue in detail and suggest measures to defuse tensions.

The conflict stems from disagreements over flood relief operations after devastating floods displaced millions across Pakistan. Both the Sindh and

Punjab governments have accused each other of poor management and lack of transparency in distributing aid and funds.

The public exchange has not only strained relations between the two provincial governments but also deepened mistrust within the broader ruling coalition, complicating legislative cooperation ahead of key parliamentary sessions.
