Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani has advised the President Asif Ali Zardari to accept the resignations tendered by the Federal Ministers of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), official Associated Press ofPakistan (APP) reported Wednesday.
The APP quoted Pakistan People's Party (PPP) member of National Assembly Farzana Raja as saying that PPP would respect the decision of PML-N to sit on opposition benches in the center.
Emerging as the two largest parties in National Assembly in the general elections held in February, the PPP and PML-N agreed in March to form a coalition government and restore some 60 judges who were sacked in November last year when former President Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency.
However, the two parties could not reach a consensus on the judges' restoration issue despite several rounds of talks and nine PML-N ministers tendered resignation letters to Gillani who refused to accept the resignation in mid-May.
Accusing Zardari of breaking promises on the judges restoration issue, the PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif on Aug. 25 quit the ruling coalition.
