Matters pertaining to political situation and forthcoming Senate chairman election came under discussion during the meeting.

Sources said that the PPP chairman sought support of the PML-Q to which Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain while clearly stating the party position, said, “We respect our guests, however we are allies of the government and we also stand with them in the Senate.”

The PML-Q chief made it clear to Bilawal that it was not their policy to make a promise to anyone that was against their principles, adding that late prime minister Benazir Bhutto s son has come to our house for the first time and this will further strengthen the mutual relationship of respect.
