 LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif has said the country cannot afford a confrontation among political parties at this point in time, a private TV channel reported on Friday.

Addressing party workers in Raiwind, Nawaz said the Punjab government would utilise all possible resources to resolve the problems facing the people of the province. The majority of the PML-N workers opposed the idea of joining the federal cabinet and the inclusion of the PPP in the Punjab cabinet in a vote conducted by the PML-N chief, said the channel. The PML-N workers also chanted slogans against the PPP.
Nawaz said the restoration of the deposed judges was a victory for the masses, and called on the PML-N workers to play their role in strengthening the party.
In a statement, he also strongly condemned the recent killing of three Baloch leaders. Nawaz said the killing of the Baloch leaders was a threat for national integrity. He said such killings were aimed at creating panic, lawlessness and misunderstandings among provinces. “The whole nation shares the grief of the people of Balochistan on this occasion,” he said.

Nawaz said that had other wrong steps also been undone like the restoration of the judiciary, the country’s situation would have been better. “I will correct the situation with the help of the masses. Those involved in unconstitutional acts would be made a lesson for others, he announced.

He reiterated that supremacy of the parliament could be ensured through implementation of the Charter of Democracy.
