Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif has said he will try to establish a working relationship with President Asif Ali Zardari if he becomes the country’s next prime minister.
In an interview with a private TV channel, Nawaz said the PPP was going out of power in the next elections, but it was a good sign that a democratic government was completing its five-year tenure without the umbrella of the army.
Nawaz said a unanimously-elected caretaker prime minister, such as Chief Election Commission Fakhruddin G Ibrahim, was also possible.
He said sometimes Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif gave harsh statements which he should avoid.
Nawaz said institutions had been destroyed but the government was moving forward instead of mending its ways, adding that the people of Karachi had complaints against “one specific party”.
“I was the one who had dissolved the provincial government in Sindh when the MQM had refused to hand over the killers of Hakim Saeed to us,” he said, adding, “We had asked the MQM to hand over the killers to us but when they refused, the PML-N dissolved its coalition government headed by Liaqaut Ali Jatoi.”
He said the government was ignoring all problems facing the country at the moment. The PML-N leader said Interior Minister Rehman Malik was saying that a third force was involved in Karachi even though, the Supreme Court had named the parties which had armed wings in the city.
Nawaz said Malik had not implemented the SC verdict, adding that none of the people involved in the targeted killings had been arrested.
He said the alliance of the government had given huge problems to the country, such as electricity load shedding, unemployment, extortion and corruption.
“Ineligible people are being appointed in government offices and police in Karachi,” he said, adding that the recruitments should be made on merit.
Nawaz said after the elections “I will summon all the stakeholders and will seek the solution to the Karachi problem”.
He said there should be a neutral force which should work on merit, adding that banning motorcycle riding and suspending mobile service was not the solution to terrorism. The PML-N president said if the SC wanted to abolish military courts in Karachi, it should have given a solution to the problem too, adding that a prime minister could not do everything.
Nawaz said an alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami had been proposed, adding that “this is our desire but obviously it will be done if the JI wants it too”. He said no alliance could be established unilaterally. He said he had no personal enmity with the Chaudhrys. Nawaz said the propaganda for delaying the next elections should be stopped. He said deployment of the army in Balochistan would send a negative message to the Baloch people.

There is no contstitutional bar on any PM working with President unless President is elected by the parliament and this is norm in every democratic country. Why are u upset???
There is no clause in constitution to stop Nawaz to work with President unless president is unelected person. Why r u so upset???
Thats all we need-zardari as president and nawaz as prime minister. If Pakistan can rid itself of these two scum bags, there could be tremendous progress made in the country. If nawaz really wants to help Pakistan, he should commit suicide. The rest could be tried and hanged 🙂
NOOOOOOOOORA KUSHTI at its peak!
The people of pakistan are going to decide the next elected PM of Pakistan by votes…PTI trolls wouldn't decide by writing stupid comments…And Yes we are going to vote for PPP again….!
AS ALWAYS IK CORRECT NOORA KUSHTI
BEFORE GO ZADRI GO NOW COME ZADRI COME
Nawaz Sharif Zindabad…. Nawaz sada sher aay… baqi hair phair aay
Nawaz Shareef as prime minister and Zardari as the president will lead to an extremely corrupt govt against those forces who want to see a Pakistan free of corruption. These two extremely corrupt families will unite in a marriage of convenience. "You scratch my back I scratch yours."
I could not understand why PTI abuses opponents all the time, just to show their presence should be felt. it is easy to criticize others but it is very difficult to perform. till now they are raising slogans only and they have to performed yet. single seater party in the history of politics make such large scale hue and cry for 'change' while never been performed even at councilor level. it is incomprehensible that PTI will bring 'change' with the help of defected 'lotas' or old corrupt faces of other parties and they believe the rest of the people should believe it! amazing
Contrary to Nawaz Sharid's belief and aspirations ti win the net election , I do not see him becoming the next Prome Minister. The PML (N) is making tall claims which it can not realise. As to ShahbazSharif He should be careful and select his words before he opens his mouth. People are sick of his negative attitude and scathing remarks against rival leaders. We can not gain respect by this despicable and arrogant behaviour.
In case God forbid Mian Sahib comes into power he will have to appease President Zardari to govern The bickering shouls stop now before it is too late to mend the things. Let the sanity prevail. JAVAID BASHIR, LAHOREr
No doubt, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz was a major political party but that was the story of past. PML-N leaders themselves reflect by their actions that it is a regional party rather than a national party. During the last general elections, it only won seats in one province, i.e. Punjab. Even many of PML-N candidates also faced shameful defeat in many constituencies of Punjab. In Sindh, PML-N even fails to clinch a single seat and now the Mian Shahbaz Sharif’s recent statement demanding Karachi as a separate province decreased the popularity of PML-N. The same is the case with KPK and Balochistan. The only party that represents the people of four Provinces is PPP. PML-N must confess that it is a regional party and limited to central Punjab only
