Pak PM Sharif calls for national unity among political leadership; Imran says ready to ‘talk to anyone’

 

Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday called for national unity among the political leadership to address the cash-strapped country’s challenges, a day after he extended an olive branch to ousted premier Imran Khan for a dialogue to resolve the ongoing political and economic crises.

Speaking in the Senate during a session to mark its golden jubilee celebration, Sharif said economic stability could not be achieved without political stability.

He said that the coalition government led by him had sacrificed their politics for the country’s sake by taking up the mantle during tough economic times.
