KARACHI – Pakistan Muslim League-N supremo Nawaz Sharif has reportedly convinced Pakistan Peoples Party co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari to resign from the National Assembly at an ‘appropriate time’.
It comes as a result of repeated contacts between the ousted premier and the former president.
“The resignations should be first presented to Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, the head of Opposition’s Pakistan Democratic Alliance,” Nawaz was quoted as saying by local media.
