Foreign minister speaks about challenges facing Pakistan

It may be noted that rumours regarding a rift between the PPP and the ruling PML-N are in the air. Especially, the resignation of NADRA chairman Tariq Malik and dispute on the chairmanship of Pakistan Cricket Board are proving a hard nut to crack between the two sides.

According to sources, the gulf between the two sides is widening with every passing day due to a lukewarm response of PML-N over disputed issues.
