I believe the news should say "rejoined" as he was a memebr of the PML N when it won the 1990 elections and he was the Speaker. As for his being welcomed in the fold by Nawaz, this guy does not seem to have learnt his lessons of identifying friends and foes. A pity really.

Unbelievable! both his joining and admittance into PML (N) by it's leadership. They all are hungry to get the goverment. And People of Pakistan doesn't react even after observing this fact via their vote.

PML (A,B,C,D.....N,..Q..Z)...It doesn't matter so long as its power!! With power comes the authority to loot and sweeping everything under the carpet, "trust in leadership"?? For heaven's sake, they would do any and everything for the lust of seat like a vampire once tastes human blood can't be kept at bay for long!! Please use your vote carefully as parties are changing in each election but the ruling faces are not, they are one and the same. Old wines in new bottles, they cant change our nation's fate, at best - they can 'change' parties with each swing of the winds to ensure they are the ones who end up on winning side no matter if Pakistan is the one on losing side!!

Nawaz party is the best place for sons of past dictators. It is a great pity that these rich and powerful sons of usupers are still allowed by people of their areas to be elected.
