Nawaz, Shehbaz discuss political developments, PTI's call for civil disobedience

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday met his elder brother and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif in Lahore. 

During the meeting, Nawaz congratulated Shehbaz over the unprecedented gains made by the Pakistani stock market and the economy in recent days. 

On this occasion, Shehbaz briefed Nawaz about the progress on foreign investment brought to Pakistan by the SIFC. The two leaders also discussed the overall political situation in the country. Incidents that took place during November 26 protests of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and opposition party’s call for civil disobedience also came under discussion during the meeting. 

Expressing his views, Nawaz said that those who damaged the national security and unity would be held accountable. He said that nobody would be allowed to put hurdles in the way of Pakistan’s progress. He directed PM Shehbaz to allay Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s reservations about the Madaris Bill and take the members of the ruling coalition into confidence on national issues. He also paid a tribute to the security personnel who sacrificed their lives in the fight against terrorists. 

At the meeting, the prime minister informed the party president about Saudi Arabia and some other countries’ interest in investment in Pakistan. He also briefed the elder Sharif about his latest visit to Saudi Arabia. 

The two brothers later went to the graves of their parents and offered Fateha.
