PML-N will not join DPC long march - The Nation, Pakistan

PML-N is not willing to join the long march of Difa-e-Pakistan Council (DPC) which is going to stage from Karachi to Islamabad on May 27 to resist resumption of the Nato supplies to Afghanistan through Pakistan territory. Sources in the party say that the PML-N wants to distance itself from the Council on the question of long march for various reasons.
They said the PML-N itself had on the table the option of long march against the government which however, was not against the restoration of Nato supplies but to make the government obey the Supreme Court decisions.
The PML-N protest march will undoubtedly be led by the party President Nawaz Sharif while in case of DPC, these matters will be in the control of others. Sources maintain that with exception to certain parties, the Council also includes those which hold an extreme view against America and are swayed by that sentiments without having much stakes in elections and their objects as such, stand in contrast with that of the PML-N, which has to contest elections and also has reservations on resumption of Nato supplies but is acting according to its viewpoint to deal with the issue.
