Azeem made the announcement alongside party chief Nawaz Sharif at a press conference in Lahore.
Sharif welcomed Azeem to PML-N and said that the party will take advantage of his experience and achievements.
Azeem said that he was thankful to Sharif for inviting him to join PML-N. He said that there was a ‘big burden’ on him and he was previously sitting in a place where if he spoke the truth, people would ask why he was speaking against government performance when his party was part of the coalition.
“I have joined the real Muslim League.”
The former senator also hit out at the government saying that Sharif was the only one who had visited Siachen after the tragedy, while the others had to follow him.
Azeem asked Sharif to visit Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan to help resolve issues there.
PML-N sources had earlier said that Azeem’s services for the Sharif family and for the party had impressed Nawaz Sharif, who had accepted the former PML-Q information secretary into the party.

Very wise decision. PML (N) is the best party.
InshaAllah next Government will be Nawaz Sharif. . Aameen
@yusuf: Yes, another catch dropped by PTI, and another 'no ball' caught by PML-N.
@MAD:
It is better to take long time to reach to the right decision than making a wrong a decision in a short span of time just to save the time, a wrong decision will make your time (does not matter how much you have got) worthless.
Now stop crying PTI lovers, another catch dropped!
Thank you Imran Khan, you are the reason to give value to Q Leaguers.
thank u imran khan to give value to all q leaguers.
Why this newspaper is taking this issue as an important it defies any logic. Mr. Azeem has no sense of understanding of politics and therefore will not make much difference to the Nawaz League winning the elections - however this should spell the end of the illiterate and turn court Chaudries.
@ Jibran: Not defending PML-N in anyway, but parties need more than just constituency-based politicians. The need people who can frame policies for them and most people don't know, but Mr. Tariq Azim is a sober and mature politicians, he would be an asset in any party, be it PMLN or PTI.
Excellent point by Kaleem. The debate is useless between who is a lota and who is not, PTI has opportunists and so does PML-N. It's the election year and parties would simply welcome anyone who is useful.
Chaudhry Shujaat we still love you .. ! Matti Paooo !
@Ismail Baig: If you think next Govt. belongs to NS, then I think we should be praying for the poor nation rather than NS.
I am happy to hear this, InshaAllah next Government will be Nawaz Sharif. I pray for him for live long. Aameen
Pathetic, sad & repulsive!
Mush certainly will be happy
I hope it's now clear which party is the establishment pushing politicians - Marvi, Amir Muqam and now Tariq Azeem. Coming soon Ijaz ul Haq and Sheikh Rashid.
Addition of a sober and rational person in PML(N) fold. Among the PML(Q) left overs Mr. Tariq Azeem was balanced and mature person.
Another revolutionary "leader" joining the "angels' league" called PML (N) ????
Had he joined PTI, he would have been called "Musharraf's remains" "Lota" etc.
"PML-N sources had earlier said that Azeem’s services for the Sharif family and for the party had impressed Nawaz Sharif"
So this is the real reason of joining PML-N.
I don't know why PML-N Leadership earlier made hue and cry for not accepting Musharraf Cronies..............now what they are doing?
The REAL MUSLIM LEAGUE, REAL BHUTTO, Senator Sb you are a good man, there is nothing real. Nowadays to achieve reality, people are changing there names too, Asif Ali Bhutto, Bilawal Zardari Bhutto and the trend will be followed even further
Guys, dont jump into debate which party he should have joined, PTI or PML N, but its pleasing to know that morally corrupt parties are losing their few good people. I hope all sincere leadership from PPP and PML Q will join PTI or PML N.
Says so much for your character!
HAHAH he thinks we are fools! what real muslim league. Real muslim league was buried wen Junejo died Sir.
After a year's time when PTI will be in power, PML-N will be in the similar disarray as is PML-Q at the moment, where will you go then???????????????? Mr. Tariq
and lotacracy continues... :D
"I have joined the real Muslim League"
Jinnah must be rolling over in his grave right now...
Great!
Real Muslim League?........took him long enough to realize that.
