PML-N to defend PPP Govt: MNS

Islamabad—Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Quaid Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said that his party would extend full cooperation and support to lawyers’ movement for the restoration of deposed judges. Asked will it not create confrontation with the government, he said “it is a separate issue.”
PML-N would support lawyers for a noble cause and “I think nobody will object it, Nawaz Sharif told Voice of America. He said his party has already made it clear that it would not become part of any conspiracy against the government to topple it.
“We will take every step for the restoration of judges. We will take part in the lawyers’ movement and play our full role and there are no two opinions on it,” he said adding that it does not mean that PML-N is talking in opposition of the government. About re-starting of talks between PPP and PML-N, he said now there should be talks on restoration of judges only, saying “I am always ready for talks.
Asif Ali Zardari is my honourable colleague and friend.” To a question, he underlined the need of keeping national interest supreme.—APP
