On the occasion, Nawaz condoled Rehman over the demise of the latter’s mother-in-law.
Following the meeting, Maulana Fazlur Rehman announced that both parties have reached a seat adjustment agreement in a bid to cement their relations.
However, there was no statement from the PML-N regarding the meeting between the two, but JUI-F chief Maulana Fazl said both parties have reached an agreement to contest elections together.
Maulana Fazl said that JUI-F and PML-N have decided to “walk together in future” as well. “There will be seat adjustments with PML-N and the rules of the game should be fair and equal for all the parties,” he added.
