The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have agreed to work together to save the state by taking important decisions.

The development came during a telephonic conversation between PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and PPP Co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari, according to a private news channel.

The PPP leader congratulated the PML-N supremo on his return to the country on October 21 after ending a four-year self-imposed exile in London.

Both the leaders agreed that all stakeholders will play their role in saving the state, the sources added.

The leaders of two major political parties of the country also agreed to take important decisions to provide relief to the inflation-hit masses.

The insiders said a huddle between the political heavyweights is likely to take place soon as they both invited each other to hold the meeting.

The conversation between the political leaders came as both parties directed their workers to start preparing for general elections slated to be held on February 8 next year.

The two parties were also coalition partners in the last Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government, which was formed after the ouster of former prime minister Imran Khan from power.

Meanwhile, the Muttahida Qaumi-Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) delegation will also call on Nawaz Sharif tomorrow (Tuesday).

A spokesperson for MQM-P said PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif spoke to party convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and invited him to meet the former prime minister.

They also discussed upcoming general elections and the prevailing political situation of the country, the spokesperson added.

The MQM-P delegation led by Siddiqui and including Farooq Sattar and Mustafa Kamal will meet the PML-N supreme leader.

The political activities are on the rise across the country after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and President Arif Alvi agreed to hold general elections on February 8 following the Supreme Court’s order in the election delay case.
