The PML-N leadership, including Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif, engaged in massive criticism of the PPP, especially President Asif Ali Zardari, during the last couple of months. However, it did not articulate the strategies to get rid of this government. Unable to muster the required number in the National Assembly to remove the federal government or Zardari, the PML-N leadership hoped that the Supreme Court would deliver a judgment either to knock out Zardari or embarrass the federal government to the extent of paralyzing it. It is understandable that the PML-N has declared support to the Supreme Court and advised the federal government to respect the court and implement its judgments. This disposition is different from how Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif dealt with the Supreme Court during their years in power between 1997 and 1999. The Supreme Court was attacked by the Sharif loyalists to delay the contempt of court proceedings against Nawaz Sharif. Later developments, including the ouster of Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, are well known.
