Talking to reporters, after the meeting, Nawabzada said there was similarity of views between the ARD and PTI on the restoration of the 1973 Constitution, presidential election, pre- poll and after poll rigging, horse-trading, floor-crossing amendments, the army’s constitutional role, and repeated postponement of national assembly’s inaugural session.

He said he has sought Imran Khan’s cooperation on all these issues, which has been assured.

Nawabzada said there was no deadlock in the country and alleged that the government was creating confusion among the politicians by delaying the assembly’s session.

Chairman PTI, Imran Khan endorsed the ARD’s stance on several issues saying that he would participate in the APC, if convened.

Answering a question about a coalition government with the PML-Q, he said he is not in favour of any “kings party”.

The restoration of the 1973 Constitution meant that the election of the president must be held under the same constitution, he said while replying to a question regarding the presidential referendum

He refrained to comment on the PTI supporting ARD’s candidate for PM.
