He said that the rulers had failed to deliver on every front.

He said that the prime minister had been changing his position for the last couple of days.

Nawaz Sharif said the government was not properly discussing the closure of NATO supply line.

Regarding his visit to Peshawar, he said that he had come here to attend PML's provincial council's meeting, saying that the party was united and strong in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He maintained that it would remain so and come up to the expectation of the nation.

He said those who had harmed the party during Musharraf era had no place in the party.

Sources privy to the meeting held in Sir Anjam Khan's residence said that PML-N Chief might name former chief minister Pir Sabir Shah as party's provincial president and Rahmat Salam as provincial secretary general to end the ongoing tussle within the party.
