PPP govt will crumble on its own, says Nawaz
By Masood Haider
NEW YORK, Sept 2: Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif has said that his party has no intentions to destabilise the present government because “it would soon crumble on its own.”
In an interview posted on the Asia Times Online on
Tuesday, he said he had “lost all hopes associated with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari that he would fulfil any of his promises made to the coalition partners and the nation.”
He also said that he would soon contest for a National Assembly seat.
Mr Sharif said the present government was not doing anything to solve common man’s problems and or to fulfil the promises made to the people and, therefore, it might fall before completing its tenure.
Replying to a question, he said he did not like army’s interference in politics because it disturbed the democratic system.
He criticised US involvement in Pakistani policies in the war against terrorism and extremism and said that he would make his own policies.
He suggested that the issue of tribal areas should be debated in parliament and policies should be formulated there.
He also said that his party would neither rejoin the cabinet nor again would be a part of the present coalition again.
