Sharif Quits Pakistani Cabinet


(12 May 08 -RV) Pakistani Ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced today his party is withdrawing from the federal Cabinet but will not oppose Pakistan's six-week old coalition government.
Sharif announced the move following failed talks over the restoration of judges axed by President Pervez Musharraf in November, and said ministers from his party will meet with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani tomorrow to hand in their resignations.
We spoke with Ikram Sehgal from the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs. He says that the withdrawal of Sharif’s party will actually help the government to function better. RealAudioMP3
