In a telephonic conservation with Nawaz Sharif on Sunday, the prime minister also reiterated his government commitment to implementing the Charter of Democracy, repealing the 17th Amendment and removing the bar on becoming third time prime minister.

According to informed sources, the focus of his telephonic conservation was the new accountability law. The two leaders also agreed that they would stop their party leaders and workers from hurling allegations on each other. Nawaz Sharif informed the prime minister that the draft of the proposed accountability bill, which was forwarded to him by the federal government as part of consultation on the subject, has been sent back to the government with necessary recommendations. The PML-N leader hoped that the new law would satisfy all shades of opinion.

The prime minister assured Nawaz Sharif that the government would make a comprehensive law acceptable to all, which would fulfil all requirements of accountability. He informed Nawaz Sharif that the constitutional reforms committee was working round the clock and had so far held 40 meetings. From Tuesday onward, the committee will hold meetings on a daily basis to finalise its recommendations.

The prime minister vowed to continue the politics of reconciliation and to take all political forces along on all issues of the national importance. In this connection, he referred to the Aghaz-e-Haqooq-e-Balochistan package and said it was in line with the long-standing demands of the people of the province. He hoped that it would go a long way in mitigating the grievances and removing the sense of deprivation of the people of Balochistan. Nawaz expressed his full support to the package and hoped that it would help address the grievances of the province.
