Sharif on oust-Gilani mission

LAHORE: A combative opposition chief Nawaz Sharif on Friday appealed to the Pakistani people to help him oust Yousaf Raza Gilani, saying the PM was “occupying his office illegally” following his conviction on contempt charges by the supreme court.
The PML-N chief said Gilani needs to be sent home and he would use all options to achieve this. “ I appeal to all segments of society to come out and support our struggle to oust Gilani,” he said.
Sharif claimed that Gilani had made Pakistan the “laughing stock” of the world by refusing to step down after his conviction on Thursday.
Sharif claimed that even Gilani’s cabinet had no legal cover after the verdict and it stood dissolved. “Gilani’s sticking to his office is treason. He is under oath to protect the interest of Pakistan and not one person.”
