DUBAI: Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz arrived in Dubai as Pakistan Peoples’ Party and PML-N gear up for another huddle in UAE.

PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari arrived at Dubai’s Al-Maktoum Airport in private jet from Karachi. It is likely that PML-N and PPP leaderships will consult on who caretaker Prime Minister will be once government dissolves National Assembly at start of August.  Pakistan Democratic Movement Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman will also be consulted for future political set-up. Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl has expressed displeasure over political meetings held in Dubai last month, saying it was not taken into confidence.

Political observers expect that PML-N supremo Nawaz will meet Maulana Fazl to clear latter’s concerns. JUI-F leaders in Karachi have confirmed Maulana Fazl will be visiting Dubai next week and will travel to London after his stay in Dubai.

On Friday, head of Pakistan Muslim League-Functional Pir Pagara Sibghatullah Rashdi hosted dinner for Maulana Fazl and his associates in Karachi. Discussions on future political alliances and upcoming elections occurred during dinner.
