The sources privy to the development said that both sides decided to go beyond just consultations over the prevailing political and economic situation of the country in their meeting.
“The crisis could only be dealt with the unity,” both leaders agreed while holding important discussions at the residence of former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Model town on Wednesday.
The sources said that Shehbaz Sharif extended special thanks to PDM Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, saying that he played important role in a bid to save Pakistan from becoming a default state.
“Unity, cooperation and consultation can help Pakistan come out of crises,” said Shehbaz Sharif, adding that all the political parties tried to save the state and not their politics during the 16-month government.

Shehbaz Sharif was of the view that the political and democratic system would improve after arrival of Nawaz Sharif.
At this, the sources said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman termed Nawaz Sharif’s return as good for the country.
“The truth is now before everyone that Nawaz Sharif was subjected to political revenge,” he added.
The JUI-F chief regretted that the family of Nawaz Sharif faced injustice and was teased without any reason. “It will remain the dark side of the history,” said the JUI-F.
Nawaz Sharif, Fazl said, accepted the mandate of PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but unfortunately Nawaz Sharif was made victim at the end and was ousted from the politics.
