LAHORE - Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif has assigned National Assembly Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and other senior leaders of the party the task to contact party leaders who were double-minded and considering joining the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI). The PML-N leadership had earlier claimed that PTI Chairman Imran Khan would not succeed in luring any prominent PML-N leaders to his party, but PML-N’s senior vice president and veteran politician Javed Hashmi was the first to join the PTI, which was a major blow to the PML-N.
Hashmi’s departure shook the PML-N, which is now trying to hold back others who are also looking to jump onto Imran Khan’s bandwagon. Nawaz has asked Nisar, Khawaja Asif, Ahsan Iqbal, Ishaq Dar and Sardar Zulfiqar Khosa to personally meet such party leaders and spare no efforts to address their concerns. The PML-N chief’s directives have accelerated the efforts to address the concerns of disgruntled party leaders so as to keep them within the folds of the party.
