KASUR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif has said that he does not consider Yousaf Raza Gilani as the Prime Minister of Pakistan, however, he failed to answer if his party will accept the next budget presented by him or not.
Speaking at a press conference in Kasur, Nawaz said PML-N would play its democratic role in favour of the country.
“We are doing our best to fix things and we will carry on with our struggle,” Nawaz said.
Calling all-parties conferences a waste of time, Nawaz said such meetings had been of no use in the past. “Even though many resolutions were passed, none was implemented,” he said.
Commenting on the issue of new provinces, the PML-N chief said that when Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) talks about dividing Punjab, it has an ulterior motive behind it.
“The PML-N, on the other hand, has Pakistan’s interest as the prime focus,” Nawaz stated.
“We will never call for division of Sindh,” he added.
Siachen tragedy
Expressing sorrow over the Siachen incident, the PML-N chief said that the event could not be prevented as the area is prone to natural disasters.
He, however, applauded the rescue work underway to evacuate the trapped soldiers and civilians.
“Pakistan Army has put in a lot of effort into the rescue work but the task is not easy. I salute all those who have been working in the area by putting their lives at risk,” he said

Looking at the above arguments...one can understand why people like zardari and gilani our rulers. These people never came out of homes in previous elections to vote and let Gilani and Zardari win elections now they will vote to Imran Khan and let Zardari and Gilani win again! Pity the Nation who respects bullies.
can u talk about resumption of supplies?
Gilani is not the PM, but PML-N still won't resign from the assembly and we the nation are fools!!!
In view of the past efficiency, they, both,deserve a hateful kick, let the the third to come in.
@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui: You and PTI trolls need to do a bit of homework on how a federation works before giving sermons on the net. PML n is not part of federal govt. in any way.
Dunno what makes NS think that people of Pakistan actually give a damn what he thinks. Go back to your Raiwind palace and stop wasting our time.
@asad shah: There is only one word in the dictionary for someone who flees with 40 suitcases. Its not "leader", its BHAGORRA.
The only government official who has a Big question mark over his legality is Shahbaz Sharif whose government is hinging on a stay order. Friendly judges will never take the case to it's logical conclusion.
Nawas Sharif is still under Musharraf-Saudi agreement for not contesting elections for 10 yrs
@asad shah: Sir, NS experienced yes, leader no. How could he be a popular leader when he did not even contest any election due to his apology agreement with Gen Mush and King of SA for keeping away from politics for a decade? When he dared violate that agreement he was bundled back to the SA. A political offspring of Gen Zia, Sharif was dismembered by another dictator Mush in poetic justice. Regards, Mirza
He is the only experienced leader in Pakistan. God bless him and save him from the pti trolls who just argue for the sake of argument even though most of the time they don't make sense at all and talk all because of emotion like their so called leader IK. PML-N all the way no matter how much IK deceives this nation with his immature arguments.
Look who is talking? Sharifs were bundled out of Pakistan by Gen Mush twoice, where was their street power? The circus tiger is roaring again with the backing of PCO CJ and some generals. Yet they accuse PTI to be a establishment party!
Mr Nawaz, I don't think anyone pays much attention to what you say and think anymore. You had your chance and you blew it.
@A2Z: If PTI is your only hope, God help you!
Instead of sermonizing on the Internet about illogical and unfathomable demand for opposition to resign (for faults being committed by govt) , please start with Awais Leghari (of duty free car imports fame) to resign first.
@Truth Bites: What a juvenile argument!?!?!
If PML N resign , an open field will be left to PPP. Peculiar logic from IK and his ilk to insist that opposition resign when the government is at fault!
And why doesn't IK insist on his Awais Legari resigning first????? IK is a first class HYPOCRITE!!!!
We don't consider him PM even before your statement Mr. NS. But please listen "We don't consider you a leader, We don't consider you an opposition party". But we do consider PPP and PML-N as corrupt, goons and looters. Both of you along with your allies have destroyed Pakistan. Both of you and others would be kicked out of this country.
PTI is our only hope but one thing I can assure you if PTI would follow your route then we will kick them out as well but before that we wana give them a chance like we gave to both of you.
Mian Nawaz Sharif, always double talk.
I also do not consider Gilani as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. This is perhaps the only point on which my views and PML(N) views are just the same.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Enough is enough Nawaz
This is the politics of mature politician and in favor of Pakistan. He don not cry like baseless hypocrites.
Noora-Kushti Reloaded
Shabaz Sharif don't accept Zardari as President and now Sharif is saying that he don't accept Gilani as Prime Minister.
Sheeda Sahib, If you two brothers don't accept the President and Prime Minster of Government of Pakistan, how can you expect people of the four provinces to accept Shahbaz Sharif as the Chief Minister of Punjab and his government?
Both of them are the part of the government and remain part of the government unless the President and the Prime Minister step down.
And don't consider mian sahab as opposition
"And yes we (PML-N) will keep talking about "not accepting President or PM" but would never take any concrete steps to implement that wish". After BLOCKBUSTER failure of original Noora-Kushti a.k.a "Go Zardari Go" now PML-N comes up with Noora-Kushti Reloaded a.k.a "Go Gilani Go". The result is going to be the same; Nil, Zero, 0, Phi, Sifr, Shoonye, Not, Thaenga. :)
FACT is that Gillani is the Prime Minister of Pakistan and Fact is that Asif Zaradari is the President of Pakistan - you Nawaz Sharif just keep eating your heart out !
Yes you are right, please consider Nawaz Sharif as the Prime Minister..And Sir who do you like to be considered as the President....as your younger brother and Mr. Nisar dont consider him President.... Sir please keep on enlightening this nation on daily basis.......and it would be great if you would provide the list of original CMs, Governors, Ministers, Chief Secretaries, Secretaries, etc.
