Sharif meets PML-N leaders to counter 'groupings' within party

Pakistan's ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif today met senior PML-N leaders and discussed a strategy for countering groupings within the ruling party, according to a media report.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is currently facing political uncertainty in the wake of corruption cases against its top leadership.

The meeting took place amidst reports that the government was planning to put up for a vote a controversial constitutional amendment bill in the National Assembly that proposes the right to appeal against an order of the Supreme Court passed in a suo motu notice case, the Express Tribune reported.
