LAHORE, April 30: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said PML-N will disassociate itself from the coalition if demand for unconditional restoration of Nov 2 judiciary is ignored.

He was speaking at a reception held by PML-N Lawyers Forum here on Wednesday at the Karachi Shuhda Hall of the Lahore High Court Bar Association. Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Rana Mashhud and MNA Naseer Ahmad Bhutta were also present.

He said the PML-N did not want confrontation and to avoid any such situation it was negotiating with the PPP. But if the judges were not restored through dialogue, the PML-N would not hesitate to quit the government and join the lawyers’ movement.
