Speaking to media after the meeting, JUI-F’s Hafiz Hamdullah and Barrister Saif of PTI said that during the meeting, both parties agreed that the real mandate of the people was ‘snatched’ on February 8.

“Today, we agreed on one point that the elections were not transparent. We will decide further course of action accordingly,” Hafiz Hamdullah added.

The two parties remain staunch rivals in the political field. Political distance between the parties could be ironed out over a one-point agenda of alleged rigging and irregularities in elections.

Earlier in the day, Asad Qaiser said that after a jail meeting with the party founder, said that he has been tasked with contacts with political parties including, the JUI-F, ANP, Aftab Sherpao, and others.

Earlier on February 13, the former prime minister and the PTI founder ruled out the possibility of talks with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) for the formation of the government or joint opposition.

The PTI founder in his informal media talk in Adiala Jail, where he is incarcerated in Toshakhana, Cipher, and illegal nikah case said his party will not negotiate with PML-N, PPP, and MQM-P for the formation of government, however, said that he had directed his party leaders to hold talks with other parties.
