PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif held a meeting with JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman at the latter’s residence.

The meeting was also attended by a number of PML-N leaders including Rana Sanaullah, Ishaq Dar and Ahsan Iqbal.

The meeting comes ahead of the key election of the prime minister, which is set to be held on Sunday. It must be noted that Fazl has refused to be a part of the coalition government and expressed reservations on the results of the Feb 8 general elections.

A day earlier, PML-N leader Khawaja Asif said his party was still in touch with the JUI-F but refused to provide further details.
