No blind support to govt: PML-N
LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday vowed to continue supporting democracy but said it would not extend blind support to the government, whom it accused of committing mismanagement and irregularities, reported a private TV channel.
A meeting held under the chairmanship of party chief Nawaz Sharif at his Raiwind residence, discussed the political situation, flood devastation, petrol crisis and NA-61 by-polls. The PML-N chief said there were no personal differences with the federal government. He said he would defend democracy and reiterated his support for the democratic system.
Nawaz, however, made clear that adherence to and support for democracy would not force the party to give cover to the government’s “mismanagement and irregularities”. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, National Assembly opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar, members of National Assembly Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Ayaz Ameer and several others participated in the meeting. A widening rift between the PML-N and the ruling Pakistan People’s Party also came under discussion. A strategy was also devised for the National Assembly and Senate sessions. The meeting also analysed Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s speeches which he made in Lahore. daily times monitor
