Meanwhile Nawaz Sharif, who was scheduled to return from London on Sunday, has extended his stay by another four days. Attempts meanwhile continue to be made to prise away sections of the religious lobby from the PML-N. The tendency in Nawaz Sharif to jealously monopolise power like a king is going to be the PML-N’s undoing. Nawaz Sharif has been disqualified by the SC, he faces several cases that can lead to his conviction while he is required to attend to his ailing wife. His absence can lead PML-N legislators with constituencies of their own to say good bye to the party and contest next elections as independent candidates.
