PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique has said that major political parties of the country — including his own, the PPP and the PTI — would have to “accept each other”.

In a post on X, he referred to the recent meeting between KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and PM Shehbaz Sharif, terming it a “step in the right direction”.

Rafique said, “The pulse of the country is drowning in the game of putting each other down.”

Asserting that the PML-N and the PPP had “buried the game full of hatred”, he criticised ex-premier Imran Khan for indulging in the same “game” and involving others in it.

Rafique said: “[We] will have to accept each other. Dialogue with rival parties on state matters should continue.”
