Both leaders met with PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif after which they formally announced their decision.
Last week, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) leader Sikandar Bosan and the sons of former president Farooq Leghari – Jamal Leghari and Owais Leghari – also joined the PML-N.
Bosan joined the PML-N along with many of his associates.
Other leaders who have recently joined the Nawaz League are former Pakistan Peoples Party leader Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani, PML-Q MNA Sheikh Waqas Akram, Suba Hazara Tehrik (SHT) chief Sardar Muhammad Yousaf, PPP leader Dost Mohammad Khan and former diplomat B A Malik.

Mian Shahbaz Sharif and his party always accused other parties to accept lotas but PML-N itself warmly welcoming turncoats. PML-N talks about politics of morality and principles but for other parties not for their ownself. My request to Mian Shahbaz Sharif is that having a nuclear bomb or drone attacks or, for that matter, actions against militants are ‘sins’ but they are overshadowed by the rampant financial and moral corruption in your province is impacting the lives of 70 percent of the population. Can Mian sahib provide a detailed account of the Lahore Ring Road Package 15 interchange expenses and come out clean. Else, the pot should stop calling the kettle black.
If you havent seen a video of Raheela Magsi where she blackend the face of some people and used so abusive words against them on camera that I cant even tell them to my male friends. PMLN protested against Raheela Magsi when she was in PPP, now they have welcomed her. Naive!
So establishment is forcing these turncoats towards PMLN?
@Nasir Mahmood: Nawaz Sharif a dictator without uniform? Who will rules this party for God knows how long and then his brother and then their children. Is this what democracy is all about? We don't need people who are road contractors .. this doesn't lead to development of nations but a false development .. we need them to have proper manifesto and all of them need to have debates about them on the TV in front of the nation instead of fighting, cursing and pulling legs of each others.
@iqbaltown: you are right. PTI is on the nerves of PML-N
This wave shows NS will be our next PM
I request my PMLN leadership not to be so much afraid of PTI. PTI is nothing
