LONDON: Bashing the government and coalition parties, Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif accused the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and its partners of trying to destroy the Supreme Court.
Speaking to the media in London on Saturday, Sharif said that it has become a joke to break the Constitution and the coalition is doing politics of interest. He added that another martial law cannot be tolerated in the country.
Commenting on the recent change in the contempt of court law, Sharif said that the PPP is making laws to save just a few people. The party should sit with us and other political parties and then devise laws after due consideration, he maintained.
He further said that the government has not been able to do anything about the loadshedding issue in the past four years, and now a nuclear state is not able to provide electricity to its people. How can those who cannot fulfil their promises run the entire country, the party chief questioned.

What the Mian (proprietor of PML-Nawaz) saying is that the Government and its coalition partners should sit with him and take his guidance about how to finsih the job that he started without real success back in November 1997 in Islamabad while the Supreme Court was lead by Chief Justice Syed Sajjad Ali Shah.

soon you will beg for zardaris friendship by destabilising the government you are a true example of JIS DALEE PE BETHA TOU MOORAKH KAAT RAHA WOH HI DAALE

I blame coalition more than PPP. They are just watching their own interest. It looks the bus is being driven by persons without driving skills which has taken the country to almost bankruptcy. Responsibility lies on the shoulders of civil society which is sitting silent on important national issues.
Recommend
I tend to agree with Mr Nawaz Sharif.
Supreme Court is one institution a common citizen has hope and trust.Please do not destroy it
Recommend
Supreme Court is likely to damage itself by playing as B team of PML N

Only Mian Nawaz can take Pakistan forward…we did it in 1990 onwards and we will do it again…
PMLN….Nations Only hope

shall they attack the SC, like u Did . . . ????
Recommend
Yea right maybe it would helped if you didn’t act as a coalition party for the past 3 years. Maybe it would have also helped not to support the NRO elections, Now that the elections are near all of a sudden Nawaz had a dream that Zardari is corrupt. Nawaz is the biggest topi drama in the history of mankind !!!!

Mr.NS please tell us how much MW electricity did you added to the national network when you were in power ? ? ? ?
Recommend
PPP and PML both of you are ugly faces of same coin. Coalition is destroying Supreme Court now and you have done so in 1997.
Recommend
NS is very right. Coalition partners are equally responsible for the destruction of economy which has almost reached bankruptcy. It seems that the people running the country are inefficient. I wonder how the incumbent government will take care of the economy. Civil society is also responsible for keeping silent of the rulers’ dishonestry and corruption.
Recommend
Hollow slogans. This man, with his limited vision, is mainly responsible for the survival of the most corrupt Government of our history.
Recommend
What about his own law that he made in cimilar circumstances in 98?
Recommend
NS is right that PML and PPP are coalition and they both tried to destroy judiciary. Same slogans to fool public again.
Recommend
Sharifs (aka Pakistani Charles Sobhraj) are habitual liars and masters of deceit. By their own admission they dragged their opponents in fake cases, and they kept on lying to Pakistanis for 10 years with a straight face. Mr. Sharif your credibility is at the bottom of the totem pole. Please have mercy on us, and take an early retirement.

Hmmmm, isn’t this the same gentleman who literally led a physical assault on the Supreme Court back in 1997?
Recommend
He may suggest government and coalition to attack the court like he did in 1997.
Recommend
Supreme court under the leadership of Justice Choudhary is currently capable enough to take care of its independent stand as per the constitution. No ruling coalition can destroy the SC. Not to be worried.
Recommend
Supreme Court has crossed the limit. It is in path of destruction elected GOVT. It is better to ignore it and move on. It has no enforcement power.
Recommend
As a matter of fact Mian Nawaz Shareef himself is responsible of teaching the politicians the manipulation of Judicial & Generals by making it a habitual safety-net for him. Judiciary is under no threat from an abuse-stopper-Act of parliament, made for merely contempt of court cases. Thanks to him, if he had not promoted Judicial Circus the Amendment would still be in the dark room today. He just love to play a Dooms-Day scenario for ever reducing count of listeners.

Everybody lies to bash Nawaz Sharif for his support of the system (not the government). He deliberately placed himself in this awkward position and allowed people like Imran Khan to ridicule him publicaly. The history will mention his name in positive words for his sacrifice and the effort he did in this regard. Lots of people here mentioned the incident of 1997 when purportedly supporters of muslim league stormed the supreme court. It is todate unclear whether this was ordered by nawaz sharif personally or someone played more loyal than the king. Anyways, all the culprits were sentecned on contempt of court while nawaz sharif was acquitted by the same court. Yes he did overtly and then covertly supported the present system, but that was more of a safety measure against any onslaught by the military, whose manifestation in form of musharraf was once very ardently suported by imran khan. And yes, people like Imran Khan are today able to shout democracy while back in their own days in cricket, he was considered as a dictator captain, responsible for ruining the carers of dozens of young cricketers like qasim omar and jalaluddin.

PPP,PML-N,ANP,MQM all are equally to blame, none can claim innocence.
Recommend
Look who is talking! Sir, you got Supreme Court physically attacked by your goons whereby the CJ had to run away from the court to save his life. Please also read Gohar Ayub Khan’s book in which he has mentioned that while he was sitting with you & while passing Supreme Court you showed the desire of putting CJ in jail at least for one night.

I don’t think Zardari wil understand something. He cann’t understand that people of pakistan won’t stability and peace and they won’t to see nation which is growning. And a country which is in developent. The pakistani peoples dream will never came true as long Zardari is the president
Recommend
So… you are back from your foreign trip???
Recommend
Looking at above comments it becomes clear we – the Pakistani nation only deserves Zardari as our ruler.
Recommend
Its laughable to hear such things from a man who atatcked supreme court physically to obstruct justice…who rewarded judges like Naseem hasan shah and Rafiq tarar with BCCP posts and presidency…all family judges….he may have a short memory but we dont have…shame on ur moralizing us about justice…
