Islamabad, May 13 : Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani seems to have completed one full circle of his political life, as he has been asked to make PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif fall in line once again, as he was made to do in 1986.

Then he worked for Gen Zia-ul-Haq, Mohammad Khan Junejo and Pir of Pagara, but now he has been assigned the job by PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
