'Pakistan Times' Political Desk

ISLAMABAD: Former Punjab Chief Minister, Mian Shahbaz Sharif said an earlier resolution of the judicial issue was imperative so that the government could focus its attention to solve other problems inherited from the past regime.

Talking to a private television channel, the PML(N) leader said, the nation is stuck in judiciary issue while there are many other crises to be resolved such as electricity, food shortage, inflation, unemployment etc.

Shahbaz said that some elements were busy in hatching conspiracies against the successful functioning of coalition government but their efforts would fail.

“We are putting the mechanisms in place to resolve the differences and our opponents would be disappointed”, the former Punjab CM said.

To a question he said, if there are some black sheep within the ranks of coalition partners, they would be exposed sooner or later.

He said the nation has tolerated dictatorship for eight years and the coalition partners would of course need some time to balance the things.

An earlier report had said; Two component parties of the ruling coalition, Muslim League-N and Awami National Party have expressed their reservations over postponement of the bye-elections.

It is being expected that the decision of delay in the bye-polls may be reversed. Sources inside the coalition say that the government could not function in existing shape if the decision about delaying the bye-elections would not be cancelled.

Muslim League-N and Awami National Party have expressed their reservations on the issue.

The credibility of the NWFP government is being damaged with postponement of the elections, ANP has intimated to the major partner of the coalition Pakistan People’s Party, sources said.

Muslim League-N was of the view that the elections have been deferred "to stop entry of Shahbaz Sharif in Punjab Assembly".●
