Lahore, Feb 15: The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) co-chairperson, Asif Ali Zardari has said that the continuation of composite dialogue between India and Pakistan would be his party's top priority.

So far, four rounds had taken place, including the one last year. The fifth round would be launched once the review meeting was held.
Zardari also said that though Makhdoom Amin Fahim was a respected party leader, the establishment is less likely to accept him as a Prime Minister. The PPP was negotiating with Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain to form an alliance with him the after the February 18 parliamentary polls, Zardari said in an interview with News One TV channel.
His party would encourage the process of national reconciliation and national unity after the elections, Zardari said, adding that without containing poverty and illiteracy, elimination of extremism would not be possible.
