‘Nawaz-Zardari meeting to be final on judges’ issue’

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is firm to its stance of restoring higher judiciary and this position would be made clear to the PPP leadership during the coalition partners meeting which may prove final because the PML-N has waited for too long to resolve the issues for which the people of Pakistan had given them the mandate.

Sources in the PML-N told Business Recorder that even after 100 days the issues of restoring the judiciary, making Parliament sovereign and impeaching the President have not been settled and the country continues to adrift which has increased the socio-economic problems of the people.

The PML-N wanted that the agenda worked out with the PPP through talks in Dubai and the Murree Declaration must be implemented in letter and spirit and unless the issues mentioned in these documents were settled, the country would not move forward and resolve the challenges facing it, the sources said.

The PML-N also desired that all issues facing the country must be discussed in the national assembly and decided according to the supreme national interests. The PML-N secretary finance Pervaiz Malik said that the last eight years of misrule has retarded development in the country, which has increased the problems of the people manifold. He said if the PML-N was desirous of being in power, it would have not given up its 15 ministries.
