ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will chair a parliamentary party meeting of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) today.

Sources said in the meeting, to be attended by federal lawmakers of the party, participants will devise a strategy in response to the opposition?s calls for the premier?s resignation following the submission of the Panama case Joint Investigation Team report.

PML-N lawmakers will also repose confidence in the premier, who has been under pressure from the opposition parties to resign from his post owing to the ?damning? charges levelled in the JIT report.

Sharif is the president of the PML-N whereas Senator Raja Zafarul Haq is the party chairman.

?Won?t resign?

On Thursday, chairing a meeting of the federal cabinet, Sharif said he will not resign regardless of the demands being made by the group conspiring against him as the people of Pakistan have elected him.

Addressing the cabinet members, Nawaz termed the JIT report a concoction of allegations and stories regarding his family's private businesses.

The language used in the JIT report displays malafide intentions, he said, adding that his conscience is clear.

"Those demanding my resignation on false and unwarranted claims should first look at themselves," said Sharif, referring to the opposition parties.

The premier said the PML-N got more votes than all the parties demanding his resignation, adding he will not let the country's development become a target of conspiracies.

The members of the meeting agreed there?s no legitimacy to the demands of the premier's resignation, and expressed their complete support in the prime minister.

In its final report, the JIT observed major disparities in the finances of the Sharif family and their known and declared sources of income.

Following the report, the opposition parties demanded the premier resign. However, the ruling party leaders remarked they will contest the ?concocted? report in the Supreme Court.
