The Pakistan Muslim League-N Friday expressed hope for a breakthrough after the party’s top brass met the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F leadership.
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, whose party is all set to head the next coalition government, met JUI-F Emir Maulana Fazlur Rehman at the latter’s residence in Islamabad.
“Have faith in Allah… [You will receive] good news,” PML-N’s Khawaja Saad Rafique, who was part of the PML-N delegation, told a journalist after the meeting concluded.
In his conversation with reporters, PML-N’s Rana Sanaullah said that he would reveal the details of the meeting later, but expressed hope of a positive outcome. “I’ve already stated that Maulana is our leader and we’ve faced tough situations together. We have always received guidance from him and we wish for that process to continue,” he said. Sanaullah said that Nawaz did not visit Fazl to seek votes; however, sources say that he was indeed there to secure the JUI-F’s support. “They spoke about the ongoing political situation during their one-on-one meeting,” he added.
