Nawaz Sharif directs Rana Sana to prevent dissolution of Punjab Assembly.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif has directed Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah to take every possible step to avert dissolution of Punjab Assembly.

Rana Sanaullah, in a telephonic conversation, briefed Nawaz Sharif about legal and constitutional means to stop Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi from dissolving the provincial assembly.

Sources privy to the development said PDM was mulling over a no-confidence motion against CM Elahi, which would be submitted after approval from Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz.

PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and party's chief organiser Maryam Nawaz had expressed displeasure with party's provincial leadership after Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi secured the vote of confidence on Thursday.

Sources privy to the development said Nawaz Sharif had sought a report from party leaders over failure to persuade dissident members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as at least seven lawmakers were in contact with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
