Pakistan Government's Coalition Teeters on the Brink.

The article reports on the rift between the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) over differences in the restoration of judges who were fired by ousted President Pervez Musharraf. The PML wants all the judges reinstated in return for its support to the PPP in forcing out Musharraf. PML leader Nawaz Sharif claims that he and Asif Ali Zardari, widower of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and PPP nominee for president, agreed on the reinstatement earlier when they joined forces to oust Musharraf.
