Answering to a question, the former Prime Minister said that there is no possibility of any meeting with President Pervez Musharraf as there is clear difference of thinking between President Musharraf and us. We are talking about the restoration of democracy while he (Musharraf) only wants to prolong his illegal rule.  The former Prime Minister said that today Pakistan is facing a number of problems including lawlessness, inflation, unemployment and extremism and the only solution of these problems lies on the unity of all political forces on one-point agenda and establishment of democratic Government after conduction of free and fair elections.—Online
