The PML-N is very much clear on the subject of NRO and it would not let the plunderers go escort free, said the party sources.
The PML-N would go to every extend for the implementation of judgement of the apex court on NRO, as it is a must for securing future of coming generation, a senior PML-N leader Pervaiz Malik told this scribe. In a meeting with Federal Minister for Railways Haji Ghulam Ahmed Bilour at his Raiwind residence on Friday, the PML-N Quaid said.
"With the implementation of Supreme Court verdict, country's prestige would enhance in the comity of nations besides strengthening the democracy and discouraging corruption." Nawaz also expressed the hope that Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani would ensure implementation of historic Supreme Court verdict on NRO.
Nawaz has also convened meetings of the Provincial Organising Committees of the PML-N to take stock of country's present situation and evolve party's future strategy. In these meetings, strategy for party elections and its future activities would also be evolved, a party leader said.
'The PML-N has decided to concentrate on re-organisation of the party and organise it at grassroots level. In this regard, the party leadership has asked the legislators and activists of the PML-N to apprise the masses about stance of the PML-N in present scenario,' he added. "We are playing the role of responsible opposition in true sense instead of friendly opposition.
