Lahore, Mar. 25 : While speculations are rife that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would join hands again for forming a government in Punjab, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has ruled this possibility out.

Talking to media persons here, Sharif said his party would cooperate with the federal government without asking for any cabinet space.

He expressed the hope that the Charter of Democracy (COD) would implemented soon, and also called upon President Asif Ali Zardari to fulfill his promises.

"I had told Prime Minister Gilani that the two parties could join hands by implementing the Charter of Democracy," The News quoted Sharif, as saying.

Sharif, however, refused to comment on the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) upon which he had vehemently attacked the Zardari regime during the protest rallies earlier this month. (ANI)
