LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) is making its efforts to form a coalition government and back-to-back huddles are in full swing in Lahore-the stronghold of Sharifs.
Two former prime ministers and once very close friends would also sit in Lahore today. The meeting is likely to be held at Zahoor Elahi road in Lahore’s Gulberg area when Nawaz Sharif will visit the residence of Ch Shujaat Hussain.
The veteran politician has once served as interior minister in the second government of Nawaz Sharif but later they parted ways when Shujaat joined hands with Pervez Musharraf.
