January 3rd, 2011 - 5:39 pm ICT by ANI
Lahore, Jan 3(ANI): Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif has said that his party will not concede to any unconstitutional change in the country, as he wants the rule of law and democracy.Sharif also stressed that the PML-N cannot extend its support to the Pakistan People’s Party-led government under the circumstances prevalent in the country, SAMAA TV reports.
His party line was quite clear in this connection, said the PML-N chief, adding that his party would not support any unconstitutional change.Sharif also directed Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to convey to Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani about his party’s concerns over the Reformed General Sales Tax (RGST).
On Sunday, the PPP-led Pakistan government lost its majority in the National Assembly, as Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which has 25 MNAs, decided to sit on Opposition benches on account of differences with the ruling party.
The federal government can survive only if the PML-Q, having more than 50 MNAs in the 342-member House, supports the government, or if the PML-N, which has 91 MNAs, offers its support to the ruling coalition government, even without joining the set-up. (ANI)
