LAHORE:
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would not be able to tow the same aggressive policy it had adopted under Maryam Nawaz once its President Shehbaz Sharif resumes his command of the party, a party source said on Wednesday.
The source said that PML-N president has never been in favour of politics of confrontation, but even otherwise, the party has not gained any advantage from its aggressive posturing seen during the past few months from the platform of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

ISLAMABAD:
The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) appeared to be in tatters on Tuesday because of serious differences on the issue of lawmakers’ resignations from assemblies, which forced it to postpone the scheduled long march against the government.
The PDM summit meeting chaired by its President Maulana Fazlur Rehman ended without taking any decision on major issues as leaders engaged themselves in heated exchanges over resignations, the Senate elections, and on the question of who to nominate as leader of opposition in the upper house of parliament.

Chairing a cabinet meeting, the prime minister invited the opposition leaders to sit across the table with the government for talks on electoral reforms if it was serious about the issues. He observed that the opposition posed no threat to the government.
