PML-N forms body for seat adjustment with PPP
** Shahbaz says PML-Q a dead party
- Nawaz says PML-N contesting polls ‘under protest’*
LAHORE/CHICHAWATNI /SAHIWAL: Ruling out any alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), PML-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif on Monday said that a committee has been set up for seat-to-seat adjustments with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
Talking to reporters in Lahore, the PML-N president said that the committee would review the situation, and that the PML-N would support PPP candidates where they had a shot at winning, and vice-versa.
He said the PML-Q was a “dead party” and it had caused immense losses to the country, so there was no chance of a political alliance with it. He said that the PML-N had decided to participate in the upcoming general elections to save the country, not merely to come into power.
Meanwhile, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif said that he would not compromise with the abrogators of the constitution, adding that the PML-N would remove them from power by contesting the upcoming elections.
Addressing public meetings at Chichawatni, Kasowal and Iqbal Nagar on Sunday, he said the doctrine of necessity had weakened the country. Had a stand been taken in 1960, the situation would be much different today, he added. He said the courts should have announced decisions according to law and the constitution rather than the doctrine of necessity to ensure that no dictator would dare dissolve the assemblies and abrogate the constitution. He regretted that the father of the nuclear programme, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, had been detained and tortured, reported Online.
The army is meant to defend the geographical borders of the country, he said, adding that it should not indulge in politics. “We will eliminate the role of generals from the political scene once and for all,” he said.
‘Under protest’: Nawaz claimed that President Pervez Musharraf had wanted the PML-N to boycott the elections, but “we are contesting elections under protest”. “My nomination papers and those of Shahbaz Sharif were rejected under a conspiracy,” he alleged.
Addressing rallies in Multan and Khanewal on Monday, he said that if voted to power his party would end the price hike. He said January 8 was actually a day of referendum and asked the people to vote for the restoration of the judiciary, reported APP. He urged the people to vote for PML-N candidates for the prosperity of the country. agencies
