Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal has said Pakistan cannot afford a long march, urging political stakeholders to resolve differences through dialogue.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) planned long march, Kamal said political issues could not be resolved through street protests.
He said the parties should sit together and discuss their differences. According to Kamal, dialogue was the way forward and a long march was not a solution to political problems.
