The PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has reaffirmed his support to the coalition government led by PML-N, saying that it was need of the hour to work together to steer the country out of crisis.
The development comes after JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, an ally of the ruling alliance, called on the PML-Q chief at his residence in Lahore on Saturday.
The two leaders discussed the political situation of the country as well as the budget for next fiscal year 2022-23 presented by the government on Friday.
Both the leaders agreed to work together for the prosperity and development of the country. JUI-F Central Secretary General Senator Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri was also present on the occasion.
They also expressed hope that the government will use all its resources to solve the problems faced by the people and also agreed to continue engagement in this regard.
Amid rising inflation and fuel prices, both the leaders said keeping difference aside and working jointly to bring the nation out of the economic crisis should be a priority at this time.
The former rulers had pushed the country into an economic crisis which could only be ended through joint efforts, they added.
Fazal and Shujaat expressed the optimism that the coalition government would resolve the issues confronting the people. They also held the government of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf responsible for the economic plight of the country.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain also agreed to work jointly for the sovereignty and development of the country.
During the meeting, consultations were held on country’s political situation and the federal budget for FY2022-23. Central Secretary General of JUI-F Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri was also present in the meeting.
Fazlur Rehman and Chaudhry Shujaat said that the national government will utilize all resources to resolve all issues of the masses and consultation will continue to be held in this regard.
