Islamabad, Aug 20 (IANS): Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has decided not to succumb to pressure exerted by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) to make him step down from his post, Geo News reported late Tuesday.

Presiding over a high-level meet at the Prime Minister House, Sharif said the doors to dialogue would be kept open but he would not resign from his post, sources said.

The meeting agreed to speedup the process of establishing contacts with political forces, sources added.

Cricketer turned politician Imaran Khan, the PTI chief, has claimed that the 2013 elections were rigged and that Sharif has a "fake mandate".

Meanwhile, as a protest march continued in Pakistan, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan Tuesday announced the army has been entrusted with the responsibility of securing Islamabad's sensitive Red Zone area.

The move came as protesters from Imran Khan's PTI and the PAT persisted with their threat to march to Constitution Avenue in the federal capital city, a Dawn report said.

    Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has refused to resign because he is being supported by:

    The corrupt parliamentarians like Maulana Fazalur Rehman, Tehmina Daultana, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao and go on.

    Once upon a time Maulana Fazalur Rehman d that Mian Nawaz was neither a man nor a woman then why he should support him in Zardar's place.

    Imran Khan, Dr Tahir ul Qadri are advocating the case of poor Pakistani Nationals who have been deprived justice because of corruptions. Just imagine why they are following these two politicians, with million of supporters, in Islamabad's Red Zone putting their precious lives in danger.
