PML-N: Provincial PML-N president Sahibzada Pir Sabir Shah has said cooperation of the alliances of political opportunists could not protect the autocratic and undemocratic rule of Gen Musharraf any more as the days of his government are numbered.

He was speaking to newsmen at his office in Haripur. Pir Sabir said that although the president had skillfully gathered political parties, but this move was bound to fail.

They should not be so happy over the deportation of Shahbaz Sharif as, he said, violation of the Supreme Court judgment on the party of rulers would prove a nail in the government's coffin. Describing present rulers as a threat to the sovereignty of Pakistan, Sabir Shah said their bid to please the US had endangered the very roots of the country.
