LAHORE (Web Desk) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif Sunday chaired a consultative meeting of his party in Lahore to discuss formation of government in Punjab and political scenario in the country.

According to reports, Shehbaz met with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Makhdoom Ahmed Mehmood and discussed a coalition government in the province. He also vowed to meet PPP leadership with both sides agreeing to work together for democracy in the future.

Meanwhile, PML-N President and PPP leader Khursheed Shah will meet in Islamabad today to discuss the prospects of forming a joint opposition in the National Assembly.

The two main opposition parties decided to form a committee with PML-N representing by Ayaz Sadiq, Mushahid Hussain Syed and Khawaja Saad Rafique while the PPP has fielded Khurshid Shah, Sherry Rehman and Naveed Qamar to engage with political parties in the wake of General Elections-2018 to discuss the way forward.

Earlier, PML-N had decided that its members of National Assembly would take oath and sit on opposition benches.

The top brass termed the suggestion of not taking oath as harmful to the democratic process and suggested that the party should instead register protest against “rigging” in the polls.
