Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will hold intra-party meeting after the party Quaid Nawaz Sharif returned from abroad for taking final decision on the issue of rejoining the ruling coalition at Centre.
Despite the fact that there is broad-based understanding on basic issues, some circles within the PML (N) are not yet sure that President Asif Ali Zardari would remain stick to reconciliation and he could ditch the party any time, sources in the PML (N) told Business Recorder on Sunday.
Punjab chief minister and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shahbaz Sharif in the meeting with the Prime Minister clarified that mid-term elections are not on the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) agenda. This is just baseless impression being created to sabotage the democratic process, the party president told the Prime Minister.
The Punjab chief minister is also said to have offered the government that PPP can rejoin the provincial cabinet any time without waiting for the PML (N)s decision about joining the central government.
Sources said that Shahbazs assurance was part of the possible modus operandi that PML (N) will support the government without formally joining the cabinet. Even by sitting in the opposition, the PML (N) could do a lot for democracy to flourish and strengthen in the country.
The overwhelming majority of the PML (N) leadership is keen that PML (N) should not rejoin the federal cabinet which it had quit following differences with the PPP over the reinstatement of deposed judges.
By sidelining the PPP leaders who are hostile to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the latter has started believing that the government would deliver on the issue of implementation of the Charter of Democracy (CoD). According to some reports, the PML (N) also wanted to have a written agreement with the PPP before it joined the cabinet.
