Pakistani Minister for Information and Broadcasting Sherry Rehman Tuesday said Pakistan People's Party (PPP) would not field its candidates against Mian Nawaz Sharif and other Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders during the upcoming by-polls.
The PML-N leaders are PPP's associates and PPP would continue maintaining the reconciliation culture and strengthening the democracy in the country as it has been restored after a long struggle, Sherry made the remarks while addressing a function here.
Nawaz Sharif, chief of PML-N has submitted his nomination papers for the by-elections on a national assembly seat.
Following the failure of talks with PPP on the restoration of deposed judges, Sharif announced Monday that the PML-N would pull its ministers out of the federal cabinet.
The PML-N ministers on Tuesday tendered their resignations to Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani who refused to accept the resignations.
The by-elections of Pakistan will be held on June 26.
