Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairperson Benazir Bhutto has struck a deal with the government and postponed her planned meeting with Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) patron chief. Sources said that certain powerful government authorities were unhappy with the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) and wanted to be rid of the PML-Q and Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA). These authorities contacted Benazir, asking her to sever her relations with the PML-N, sources added.
