Nawaz Sharif pulls out of Pakistan Govt

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pulled his party out of the ruling coalition on Monday, deepening a political crisis that has diverted Government attention from pressing security and economic problems.
The move came just a week after the coalition parties had celebrated the resignation of President Pervez Musharraf in the face of the coalition's threat to impeach him.
Sharif said the party of assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, which leads the coalition, had repeatedly broken promises on resolving a judicial dispute and on who should be the next president.
