The PML-N delegation included Khawaja Saad Rafique, Rana Tanveer and Atta Tarar. From PML-Q, Chaudhry Shujaat, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Salik Hussain and Shafe Hussain were holding the meeting.

It was the first meeting between PML-N and PML-Q leaders after a period of 22 years as the no-trust move against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government has brought the political rivals closer in recent days.

It may be noted here that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) head Maulana Fazlur Rehman had announced on February 11 to bring a no-trust move against the government led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and decided to initiate contacts with the coalition parties.

At the summit of the opposition alliance, PDM had decided to bring a  no-trust move against the PTI government after making a ground for its success besides constituting a delegation to contact the ally parties of the incumbent government.
