Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) called off the 48-hour ultimatum it had given to Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP), but stands by its demand for restoration of the constitution and trial of former President Pervez Musharraf. Talking to a private TV channel, PML-N spokesman Siddiqul Farooq said after President Asif Zardari's clarification and Prime Minister's contact with Shahbaz Sharif, the ultimatum expired itself.
His party has not moved back from its call for Musharraf's trial under Article 6, he said. PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif has no personal agenda and that he is practising politics of principles on national issues, the spokesman added.
