PPP, PML-N willing to form coalition govt

Sharif told Zardari would not seek any share in ministries for PML-N’s support in forming a government. Sharif also said he had been supporting the PPP despite the reservations of some leaders of his party, sources in the PML-N and PPP told the Dawn newspaper.

Addressing reporters along with Sharif, Zardari said the PPP would invite the PML-N and “other democratic forces” to join a coalition even if the party won a majority.

“We will sit together because the country is passing through a dangerous phase, and we can only steer the country out of this crisis together,” Zardari said.

The two leaders agreed that all political forces should be united to oppose dictatorship and save the country from what they called “usurpers”. Sharif said all the problems confronting Pakistan were the creation of the men in uniform.
