No understanding yet on immunity bill: PPP

Islamabad—Pakistan People Party has said that there is no settlement on the immunity bill as the PPP immunity bill has not been approved by government.
“The notification on appointment of Vice Chief of Army Staff is being considered by experts to see if it is meant for him to become Chief of Army Staff as per PPP demand for General Musharraf leaving the position as Chief of Army Staff, the PPP spokesman said in a statement.
“Government and the PPP still not seeing eye to eye on lifting of the ban on twice elected prime minister. “As far as the PPP is concerned, there is no understanding yet due to refusal of regime to move towards democracy.
“The present announcements are being made for propaganda purposes and the PPP urges the media to dismiss them. If there is an understanding it will be a joint announcement. “The regime wants to give immunity to 80 parliamentarians who defected from PPP and PML N and those officials in NAB who fabricated cases and is spinning it as a PPP bill. “This is not a PPP immunity bill and as PPP has said that immunity on its own is not enough. The regime must move towards democracy and taking off the uniform”, the spokesman said.
