Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Thursday discussed the current political imbroglio with President Mamnoon Hussain, a media report said.

Nawaz Sharif called on the president at the Aiwan-i-Sadr in Islamabad.

During the meeting, Nawaz Sharif took the president into confidence on the prevailing political crisis and demands put forward by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), Dawn reported.

The president was keen that the crisis be resolved through political means and dialogue.

The PTI and PAT are demanding the resignation of Nawaz Sharif whose government, they say, is tin office due to a rigged 2013 general election.
