Nawaz Sharif’s Balochistan Visit
Earlier, it was reported that Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to fly to Balochistan to further expand his party’s alliances with regional players. The PML-N on Tuesday formed an alliance with the MQM-P and also announced reaching out to other parties in Sindh.
Nawaz Sharif, who returned last month after around 4-year of self-exile in London, will hold meetings with PML-N Balochistan’s leadership during his visit to Quetta.
Scores of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) leaders and some other leading Baloch leaders will likely join the PML-N, local media reported.
Meanwhile, PML-N is also eyeing another alliance with the JUI-F, Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, and ANP in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
