Nawaz Sharif, chief of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) announced Monday that the PML-N ministers would resign Tuesday.
Sharif made the remarks while addressing a news conference at the Punjab House here.
Sharif said that the PML-N ministers would tender their resignations to Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani on Tuesday because Pakistan People's Party (PPP) could not keep its promise to restore the deposed judges.
He further pointed out that the PML-N would withdraw from the government instead of the ruling coalition.
Following the failure of talks with PPP in London on the issue of deposed judges, the PML-N Monday held a central working committee meeting and finally decided to pull its ministers out of the cabinet.
No breakthrough could be achieved on the issue of restoration of deposed judges after holding marathon negotiations with the PPP, Sharif said.
