LAHORE: Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz Ahmed said on Wednesday that the Sharif brothers were paving way for martial law in the country but democracy-loving people would foil such moves.

In a brief telephonic conversation with this news agency he said, PML-N leaders repeatedly made efforts to derail the present democratic set up but each time they had to taste bitter defeat.

“Their rallies and public meetings could not impress the PPP government,” he said.

The PPP leadership is fully aware of people’s problems and is pursuing an agenda which would bring prosperity to them.

To a question, Raja Riaz said Pakistan condemned the Nato air strike at every level and took strong steps to give a bold response to the aggression.

He said Pakistan’s armed forces were fully capable of defending the frontiers.
