ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League-N has said it will continue to mount pressure on the government to implement its “reforms agenda” and warned that it may launch a movement like the one for the reinstatement of superior court judges if the People’s Party fails to implement the agenda. “If the government does not accept our 10 points, we will get them implemented the same way as we achieved our goal of reinstating the judges through a long march,” PML-N spokesman Ahsan Iqbal said at a news conference on Monday.
When some TV channels started reporting that the PML-N had announced launching a long march, he clarified he had not made any such announcement.
Talking to Dawn, he said that what he actually wanted to say was: “As we went for a long march for the reinstatement of the judges, the PML-N can go to any extent to ensure good governance and improve the economic situation.
“If the PPP fails to implement the reforms agenda, we can use all democratic options.”
The PML-N leader said a party meeting had been convened by its chief Nawaz Sharif on Friday to discuss the future course of action. He was of the view that all now depended on the PPP-PML committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
Speaking at the news conference, Mr Iqbal criticised a threatening statement by Sindh Home Minister Dr Zulfiqar Mirza against the PML-N. He said some PPP members had termed Dr Mirza’s statement his personal opinion.
