ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) president Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai on Thursday made separate calls on Prime Minister Nawaz sharif and discussed the overall political situation in the country.

Mehmood Khan Achakzai during his meeting with the PM also discussed the political situation and military operation in NW and assured his party's full support to tackle militancy and terrorism.

Following the clash, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif also called on the PM and presented a detailed report on the issue.

The PML-N leadership also summoned a high level meeting with the central leadership today to discuss the political situation in the country as well as the military operation in North Waziristan.
