The MQM-P’s delegation has departed from Jati Umra after an hour-long meeting with the PML-N’s top leadership.

Led by convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and comprising Dr Farooq Sattar, Kamran Tessori and Mustafa Kamal, the MQM-P delegation arrived at the Sharifs’ residence a little after 11:30am. None of the parties, however, held a press conference following the meeting.

The interaction comes after PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif called on all the political parties, excluding the PTI, to work together as a coalition government.

A day earlier, PML-N leader Marriyum Aurangzeb told a private news channel that former premier Shehbaz Sharif had held a meeting with PPP’s Asif Ali Zardari, but both would consult their parties regarding the formation of a coalition government.
