PPP Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday said he did not think his patty would accept any ministries in Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet, which is yet to be formed since the new premier was sworn in on April 11. Similarly, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, convener of another coalition partner MQM-P, said he was more interested in serving the people than cabinet portfolios. Sources said the PPP was more interested in constitutional offices than ministries. PM Shehbaz has been insisting that the PPP should join his cabinet. However, the PPP, the second biggest party in the ruling coalition, told him that it was more interested in supporting him while staying out of the cabinet.
