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.

In a tit-for-tat reply to PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif’s call for Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani’s resignation, Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah has threatened Long March to Lahore against Nawaz League.
Nawaz Sharif had appealed to the nation to rise up against what he called ‘immoral’ and ‘illegal government’.
War of the words has escalated between the PPP and PML-N after Supreme Court convicted Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani of contempt for not ordering reopening of multi-million-dollar corruption cases against President Zardari.
Qaim Ali Shah, during a press conference here in Karachi, said “Nawaz Sharif should refrain from issuing threats. If they will go to Islamabad then PPP jialas will march to Lahore.”
“He (Sharif) is taking cover of the Supreme Court which is yet to issue a detailed verdict… He should wait for general elections,” charged Qaim said in an angry tone.
