The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) has opposed the ongoing talks between President Gen Pervez Musharraf and the Pakistan People's Party on the formation of a caretaker government. "A caretaker government of pro-Musharraf forces will be a facade. If such rigging schemes are to be employed there is no need for staging drama of an election," PML (N) information secretary Ahsan Iqbal said in a statement issued here on Monday. He said Gen Musharraf and his supporters were not the only party to the next general elections; other political parties were also the stakeholders. Mr Iqbal said the elections under the supervision of a neutral caretaker government set up in consultation with all political parties was the only solution for future stability.
