ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's former Premier Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday sounded a warning, saying that the PPP-led government might collapse much before its tenure if its leaders "continue their policies of breaking promises and ignoring public issues".
Emphasising that his party will not work to destabilise the government and he did want army to meddle in affairs of the state, Sharif whose PML-N broke away from the ruling coalition last week predicted that the government will not "last long", as its leaders were fast losing the trust of people.
"I don't want to make any efforts to destabilise the government, but I am afraid it will not last long due to its current way of governance and the policies of its leadership, which are fast losing the trust of leaders and the people," the PML-N chief said.
The government, which was formed in March, might not complete its five-year tenure if its leaders continued "breaking promises and ignoring public issues", Sharif told Gulf News.
Ruling out any possibility of rejoining the coalition despite requests from the PPP, Sharif said, "We have crossed that point and we don't want to enter the ruling coalition again".
Referring to the September six presidential polls, Sharif said he would not withdraw the PML-N's candidate, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui, who is running against Zardari.
"Let us wait for polling day on September 6 as it is premature to say who will win," he said when he was asked if he saw Zardari as the next President.
