PM Shehbaz invites Chaudhry Nisar to rejoin PML-N

(Web Desk): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met with estranged PML-N leader and former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar at his residence, during which he invited him to return to the Pakistan Muslim League (N).

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Chaudhry Nisar at his home, where the two leaders discussed the country's political situation and other important matters.

During the conversation, the Prime Minister inquired about Chaudhry Nisar's well-being and smilingly remarked, "It seems you have forgotten us."

To this, the former Interior Minister replied, "These days, I’ve been unwell." The Prime Minister then offered prayers for his recovery, saying, "May Allah grant you swift health."

According to sources, Chaudhry Nisar did not give a definitive answer to the invitation and said he would decide after recovering and consulting with close aides.

Chaudhry Nisar thanked the Prime Minister for visiting, and the meeting reportedly took place in a pleasant and sincere atmosphere.

It is worth noting that this was the second meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chaudhry Nisar in eight years. Last year, they had also met quietly after a gap of seven years, a meeting that drew considerable attention in political circles.

In September of last year, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Chaudhry Nisar’s residence to offer condolences on the passing of his sister.

Information Minister Attaullah Tarar also accompanied the Prime Minister during this recent visit to Chaudhry Nisar’s residence.

It should be noted that Chaudhry Nisar has remained distant from politics for a long time. Once a central figure in PML-N, he parted ways with the party in 2018 after being associated with it for over 34 years.

At the time, Chaudhry Nisar said that his decision was made in accordance with his conscience. “I have been a part of the PML-N for a long time; I pursue politics of dignity, not power,” he stated.

Later, he contested the 2018 general elections as an independent candidate from four national and provincial assembly seats in Rawalpindi, claiming that his former party had awarded most of its tickets to “political orphans.”
