Nawaz will go to SC if memo not probed

MUNDARA: Pakistan Muslime League-N President Nawaz Sharif Saturday called for constitution of a commission to probe the secret memo and warned to go to the Supreme Court in case the government failed to do so, Geo News reported.

During his interaction with media men here at Mundara, Nawaz Sharif said the entire National Assembly could conduct the inquiry or a commission comprising retired judges like Fakhruddin G Ibrahim could be formed to do the job.

"The findings of the investigation should come out within ten days," he asserted.

He expressed the confidence that the Senate elections would be held on time and that he felt no fear in regard to the polls of the upper house of the Parliament.

"I had never bargained over the interests of the country whenever I was in power," he claimed, stressing that Pakistan's sovereignty must not be put at stake.

The PML-N leader said he raised his voice over the issue of Benazir Bhutto's assassination and questioned: "If Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto can be hanged then why can't Musharraf be tried (in a court)?"

He said the government lacked courage even to bring the military budget before the Parliament.

Nawaz Sharif regretted that had the Charter of Democracy be implemented, Zardari and Gilani would not have been in a situation that they were now.
