Русская версияThe leader of the junior party in Pakistan's ruling coalition says
he is withdrawing his movement from the government.
Former Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif blamed his partners for failing to agree to
slash the powers of the presidency and reinstate all judges sacked
last year by former President Pervez Musharraf. Last week, Sharif
set Monday as a deadline for his partners to solve the key
disputes. The withdrawal is not expected to trigger fresh elections
and Sharif has promised to play a "constructive" role in dealing
with the governing Pakistan People's Party. However, the two
parties will put forward competing candidates to contest a
presidential election on September 6.
