ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have agreed to work together to save the country by making important decisions, local media reported on Monday.
According to media reports, the development came during a telephonic conversation between PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and PPP Co-chairperson and former president Asif Ali Zardari, according to media reports.
Zardari congratulated the PML-N supremo on his return to the country on 21 October after ending a 4-year self-imposed exile in London. The leaders of two main political parties also agreed to take important decisions to provide relief to the inflation-hit masses.
The contact between the political stalwarts came as both parties directed their workers to start preparing for polls slated to be held on 8 February 2024. The two parties were also coalition partners in the last Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government, which was formed after the ouster of ex-prime minister Imran Khan from power.
Bilawal on Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari Contact
Meanwhile, speaking to the media in Karachi, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the telephonic conversation between the two leaders took place last month following Nawaz Sharif’s return to the country.
Replying to a question, he said that this has been reported today but it is old news. PPP’s doors are open to all political parties, and the contact should not be a very big development.
However, PPP Central Information Secretary Faisal Karim Kundi denied the report of a telephonic contact between the two leaders.
He said on his official X handle that the news of Mian Nawaz Sharif contacting former President Asif Ali Zardari is false and holds no truth. We urge everyone to verify the news before spreading it.
