PPP does not want to be involved in politics of alle gations and counter-allegations, he added. Regretting the situation, he said, after great efforts the politics of ‘lotacracy’ was eliminated from the country but, Mian Shahbaz Sharif has once again started politics of ‘lotaism’. Kaira said it is the time for national unity and solidarity to meet the challenges being faced by the country on different fronts. To a question he said, politics of confrontation was done away with by PPP and a new political culture was introduced in the country by promoting reconciliation policy.
