Former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif has said that ministers from his party would resign from their posts on Tuesday. Just three months after landmark general elections, Sharif said his PML-N party was quitting over differences regarding the reinstatement of judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf. Sharif told a news conference in Islamabad that his party would however not join the opposition.
They hold nine posts in the 24-member government. Sharif's party is at odds with the coalition partner Pakistan People's Party over just which powers should be returned to the judges, whom Musharraf removed last year.
