B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Government on Monday maintained that the "charter of democracy" pact between the two former Prime Ministers, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif was "an unnatural and unethical agreement aimed at grabbing power by hook or crook."

Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Tariq Azeem claimed that people have become sane and wise to discern between right and wrong and cannot be hoodwinked by new gimmicks like signing the charter of democracy.

"Both leaders have different thinking and mindsets, have no common thing except wish for power. We have already experienced their two terms. It is obvious that they are only trying to create media hype," he said.
