Lahore, Mar 29 : PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif today welcomed President Asif Ali Zardar’s address to the joint sitting of the Parliament, saying that it will strengthen democracy in Pakistan.

“We welcome the reconciliation policy of President Zardari, as the harmony among the political parties would strengthen democracy,” Sharif said.

He said if the Charter of Democracy (CoD) is implemented, then extending hands of friendship towards Zardari was not an issue.

In a meeting with the Malaysian High Commissioner, Ahmad Shizan at Raiwind here, Sharif said that by getting the judiciary restored the first step towards the goal has been achieved and now striving for strengthening other organizations.

Earlier, the central leadership of Pakistan Muslim League-N seemed reluctant to comment on the Zardari’s address to the joint sitting of the Parliament on Saturday. The PML-N does not seem to be fully content with the President’s announcements.

Shahbaz Sharif’s spokesman Senator Pervez Rasheed said the reaction would be expressed in full detail on Sunday. (ANI)
