| 2008-02-27 |
| (Xinhua) -- Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Tuesday said it would extend unconditional support to the Pakistan People's Party government in the center but it would not become a part of the cabinet, the official Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported. Addressing a news conference here, PML-N central leader and newly elected member of National Assembly, Ch. Nisar Ali Khan said the cabinet members would have to take oath from the President under the amended constitution and PML-N was against this. He said the PML-N parliamentarians would take oath in the National Assembly under the 1973 constitution and not under any "mutilated form" of the constitution. The PML-N leader said the party had some concerns about a coalition between PPP and Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) in the center and these concerns had been conveyed to the top leadership of the PPP. However, the PML-N had decided not to create problems for PPP to form the government in the center if PPP wanted MQM support, he added. "PML-N is enjoying massive support after Feb. 18 elections and would support PPP for six months in the center to solve all issues," Nisar Khan said, adding that the party would continue its support to the PPP, if needed, for the development of the country. "We are going to support the PPP without demanding any ministry. The PML-N is only seeking a free judiciary in the country," he said. |
