Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Muttahida Qaumi Movement have decided to join hands against the government, but only in the parliament.
Ishaq Dar of PML-N and MQM’s Haider Abbas Rizvi addressed the media following their meeting and announced that both parties have decided in principle to work together “for the welfare of the people”.
Enumerating different issues ranging from prices and Kashmir to the overall situation in the country, Rizvi said it has been decided to work together to improve the lot of the people and the country.
Meanwhile, Dar virtually turned down the impression of a grand street alliance by saying that everything would be done within the constitution and democratic norms. Both parties have decided to work actively as opposition parties, he added.
Both leaders however refrained from addressing directly whether their parties would seek to replace the government.
