A private TV channel quoted Daily Times Editor-in-Chief Najam Sethi, as saying that Pakistan's situation would further deteriorate if President Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif fail to pull the country out of its current crises by putting their political differences aside.

He added that Sharif is well aware of the fact that the Kerry-Lugar legislation is not harmful for Pakistan's sovereignty and security. (ANI)
