KASUR:


Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief Nawaz Sharif does not consider Yousaf Raza Gilani as the prime minister of Pakistan… but will not say whether or not his party will accept the next budget presented by him. At a news conference in Kasur, Nawaz said that his party would play its democratic role in the larger interest of the country.


The PML-N chief said that convening all-party conferences was a waste of time. “Such meetings had been useless in the past. Even though many resolutions were passed, none was implemented,” he added.

Nawaz said that when the PPP talks about dividing Punjab, it has an ulterior motive behind it. “The PML-N, on the other hand, is keeping national interests supreme.”

The opposition, particularly the PML-N, is so blinded by its lust for power and animosity towards the PPP-led coalition government that it did not even hesitate to ask the British prime minister not to play host to Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani as Prime Minister of Pakistan. They were not alone in this sabre rattling; a section of the media sympathetic to their cause and essentially hostile to the present government also joined this shameful exercise. Nobody would grudge the legitimate right of the opposition to grill the government on issues of national importance but it is certainly not desirable to pull the rug from under the feet of the chief executive embarking on a foreign visit.
