LAHORE, April 25: PML-N leader Mian Nawaz Sharif has expressed displeasure at participation of ministers belonging to his party in a dinner which was attended by President Pervez Musharraf.

The dinner had been given by Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani on Thursday for formation commanders and services chiefs.

A source said that Mr Sharif was of the view that the participation had presented a negative image of the party which does not accept Musharraf as a legally elected president and also does not want any working relationship with him.

The source said that Mr Sharif was particularly displeased because the ministers did not consult the party leadership before attending the dinner.
