Not unexpectedly, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz Group) or PML(N) has decided to withdraw from the ruling coalition. Former Prime Minister and PML(N) leader Nawaz Sharif announced the expected breakup to a press conference citing irreconcilable differences on the Judges Restoration issue with the PPP and it’s leader Asid Ali Zardari. The PML(N) had already removed itself from the cabinet on the same issue.

The PML(N) leader also announced former Chief Justice Saeeduzaman Siddiqui as it’s Presidential candidate to oppose Asif Ali Zardari.

The move was not unexpected following the coalitions success in removing Gen Musharraf from the Presidency. The hope now would be that this might lead to a strong and active parliamentary opposition. However, the fear and the likelihood is that greater political bickering and instability will follow leading Pakistan politics into even more political brinksmanship.

    hahah.hahha..cant stop laughing. The coalition didnt even last for a few seconds. That was so obvious.

    What a joke are these people and these AHOLE are playing with Pakistan as its there own inheirtance! I am more pissed at our awam, ALLAH mayree awam ko naiki ki hidayet day, to vote for such people.

    Are we stupid to believe there can be any coalition between these parties who were up each others A.. since the inception of Pakistan. There only goal was to get Musharref out. Is it no personal vendetta or what? Are these people in government really serious about Pakistan. I am sorry to say no.

    Bahoot afsoos hota hai, Jaisi awam vaisay leader! It could have been any even some chacha from the streets but these 2 people in the government! Isnt there any leader in Pakistan? Is Pakistan our country or Zardari or Nawaz Sharif game!

    Nawaz doesnt want Zardari becasue of the power given to president and Zardari doesnt want judges because they can kick him out and in this soup of personal goals we are suffering.

    Enough! Enough of this!

    Why do mods delete comments on this site when Punjab is criticized. You have to accept that Nawaz Sharif is just a leader or Punjab and his party could not win a single seat in Sind or Baluchistan. If this PML Punjabi group is really thoughtful for Pakistan and judiciary then they should leave Punjab govt too. But no, they would suck that and would try to fail federal govt so that their leader NS Gunja could be next PM. Let this comment be here and let people decide its fate. Don’t suppress the voice of other ethnics groups.

    This is good news for Pakistani Democracy. We need strong opposition.

    Dear Politicians of Pakistan,

    Please stop raping me.

    Regards,

    Pakistan.
