Why are Sharif brothers showing dictatorial behaviour towards PML (N) members? Do they not believe in continued democracy?

PML-N Forward block surfaces
**LAHORE: A group of MPAs from Punjab belonging to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz have announced a forward block in the party here Thursday. **
Laila Muqaddas and Khizar Hayat Mangat, two PML-N MPAs, announced the formation of forward block here in a press conference and claimed that the block has support by 27 MPAs from the party out of which 17 were men while 10 were women.
The two MPAs also assured Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Governor Punjab Salman Taseer of their block’s full support in their bid to form a minus-PML-N government in the province.
**Laila Muqaddas said that she had resigned from party, since the Sharif brothers were bent on hoodwinking Pakistan, for their personal interests, rather than National interest, and the decision of forward block was voluntarily. **
**Meanwhile in another instance, PML-N’s divisional president, Chaudhry Khizar Hayat Mangat, who is also father of MPA Laila Muqaddas, has also resigned his office, after " a careful evaluation and thinking", against the dictatorial behavior of Sharif brothers. **
He said that after the death of National figure, a leader in truer sense always comes forward with a helping hand, pleading masses to remain united and unperturbed in these times of crisis; yet another leader tries to take advantage of the crisis just for his rule, on 23 Feb.
**He claimed that a few days back Mian Nawaz Sharif personally called him at his residence and tried to intimidate him through his henchmen, coercing him in remaining in his party. “But after listening to his aggressive agenda, I openly declared that I cannot carry on in PML-N under these circumstances”, since “I want a united Pakistan, rather than a government of Sharif Brothers”. **
He said that he had never met President Zardari ever, nor Qasim Zia; but only Rana Aftab in the capacity of a “prisoner, who had been interned under humiliating and torturous circumstances, for eleven years by Mian Sahib, while Rana Aftab personally played an important role in persuading Mian Nawaz Sharif to take part in elections”, and also accused Mian Nawaz Sharif of having a fickle attitude.
Speaking on the occasion, Qasim Zia announced that no PML-N member had been “persuaded” by PPPP to desert party ranks, rather all these had personally deserted their party, and called me to inform me that they wanted to hold a press conference in his presence.
