LAHORE: Pakistan's opposition PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif on Friday warned against any attempts to dislodge his party's government in Punjab and asked the ruling PPP to settle all political issues in the province.
Talking to reporters at the airport here on his arrival from London, Sharif said some people were creating instability for their personal interests and this would dent democracy in the country.
Though the PML-N pulled out of the PPP-led coalition at the centre last month, the latter continues to be part of the PML-N-led government in Punjab province. The PML-N has been urging the PPP to exit the provincial government to avoid embarrassment to both parties but the PPP has given no such indications so far.
PML-N and PPP leaders have engaged in a war of words in recent weeks over the government in Punjab, the only province ruled by the PML-N.
Sharif asked the PPP to resolve all political issues in Punjab and warned against attempts to remove his party's government in the province, while denying reports that the PML-N planned to forge an alliance with the PML-Q in the state.
If an alliance with the PML-Q had been possible, it would have been formed during the recent presidential election, he added.
The former premier described the reappointment of some of the judges deposed during last year's emergency as tantamount to contempt of court, saying the PML-N wants all the deposed judges to be reinstated in one go.
The PPP has chosen to reappoint the deposed judges selectively.
