Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the residence of the Chief of Jui-F Maulana Fazlur Rehman in Islamabad on Thursday, in a gesture of good will to ask about the health of the latter.
Beyond health control, the meeting also provided an opportunity for both leaders to participate in discussions on crucial national and political matters. The conversations underlined the importance of dialogue and collaboration to address the pressing problems facing the country.
In a significant political development, the visit follows a recent invitation of PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf) to Jui-F, asking for a joint movement against the current government.
PTI leaders, including Omar Ayub, Asad Qaiser, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, Salman Akram Raja and Akhunzada Hussain, met with Maulana Fazlur Rehman to extend the offer. The delegation urged Jui-F to collaborate in efforts to challenge the government.
In response, Rehman assured PTI representatives that his party would consult internally before deciding on the matter. This marks a potential change in political alliances, with both parties discussing the possibility of working together in the future.
The prime minister was accompanied by federal ministers Ahsan Iqbal and Attaullah Tarar, while Jui-F leader appreciated the visit of the prime minister and thanked him for his concern.
