The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is trying to use parliament for confronting state institutions but we will never allow it to succeed, Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif said on Sunday. In a statement, Shahbaz said that the ruling group was asking for trouble by adopting the way of confrontation with national institutions such as the army and judiciary. He said that the PM’s ‘anti-army’ statement was part of the PPP’s campaign. “I believe that the extremely irresponsible and condemnable statement has been issued on the behest of President Zardari. I demand that Prime Minister Gilani, instead of submitting explanations, should withdraw it and apologise to the people. The PML-N believe that dictators, who toppled democratic governments, both ruined the country and undermined the army’s repute and professional abilities. We will not allow anyone to ridicule the army,” he said.
