Former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali met Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief and prime minister in-waiting Nawaz Sharif at his Raiwind residence on Saturday and announced joining the PML-N.
During the meeting, both leaders discussed the political situation in the country and formation of government in Balochistan.
Jamali congratulated Sharif on his party’s victory in the general election and assured his whole hearted cooperation to the PML-N government. He hoped Sharif would be able to steer the country out of the prevailing crises including that of unprecedented electricity load shedding.
Jamali said he decided to join PML-N in the interest of the troubled province of Balochistan.
He said it is time that all political forces extend a helping hand towards the new government in the greater interest of the country.
Responding to a question post the meeting, Jamali said the Balochistan issue could not be resolved through “packages” but required sincere efforts to take all stakeholders into confidence.
Sharif thanked Jamali for his gesture and said per its commitment to the masses, PML-N would do its level best to address all problems in the shortest span of time. He said he was well aware of the excessive load shedding in sweltering heat and knew that people had pinned high hopes on him.
PML-N has emerged as the leading party in the general election held a fortnight ago and over 40 independent candidates have joined the party so far.
