Nawaz Sharif pulls out of PPP led coalition citing corruption led inability of the Government to reinstate 60 judges sacked by Musharraf
Zardari is worried about going to jail. He has refused to reinstate the judges in Pakistan who were sacked, harassed, physically abused, and insulted in the open streets of Pakistan. PPP and its leader the spouse of Bhutto, Zardari is worried that these judges will come back to power and go after Zardari’s secret empire of corruption initiated by Benazir Bhuoo many years back.
"We have taken the decision after thorough discussion among the party leaders and after the PPP failed to fulfill promises made to restore the sacked judges," Sharif announced after a marathon party meeting in Islamabad.
He said the PML-N would field former chief justice of Pakistan Saeeduz-zaman Siddiqui for the Sep 6 presidential election against PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
The PML-N leader said Zardari had violated the agreement they had by nominating himself as the presidential candidate instead of announcing the name of a person who was "non-partisan, nationally respected and accepted by the coalition partners".
Sharif said that on four occasions the PPP entered into agreement with the PML-N but on all occasions they failed to implement the accords. "I am saddened to announce this but we are left with no other option," Sharif said.
