Lahore, Mar. 25 : Former Pakistan Prime Minister and chief of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif, has emerged as the most popular politician in Pakistan after defying his house detention and leading a triumphant protest that forced the government to restore the country's deposed chief justice.
According to the New York Times, the Obama administration, which is in the process of fine tuning its strategy toward Pakistan and Afghanistan, has to decide whether Sharif, 59, a populist politician close to Islamic parties, can be a reliable partner?
