MQM-Pakistan Convener Khalid Maqbool has said that discussions during a meeting with the PML-N delegation did not involve any talks about forming the next government.

Speaking to reporters in Lahore, Siddiqui said the elections have created a challenging situation and all parties must play their role in steering the country out of crisis.

“The stability of democracy is more important than anything else,” he said. He insisted no discussion has yet taken place regarding the formation of the government.

Siddiqui said it also not yet confirmed whether the MQM would get any share in the government or not.

His remarks came shortly after the PML-N released a statement saying that the two parties had reached a “principle agreement” to work together in the upcoming government.

“We will work together in the interest of the country and public,” the statement had said, adding that basic points had been agreed upon by the two parties.
