Pakistan to restore judges

The leaders of Pakistan\'s ruling coalition have begun urgent talks on meeting their pledge to restore judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf.



PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif and the PPP\'s Asif Zardari met in Dubai.



After winning recent elections, both parties agreed to reinstate the judges by today.



Failure to resolve differences over the issue has put the month-old coalition under strain.



Before his departure, Mr. Sharif warned of disastrous consequences for democracy in Pakistan, if the judges were not restored.
