Speaking to the media in Islamabad on Thursday, Shahbaz said that countries are not merely run by parties who win the elections, but are run by proper plans of action.
The PML-N reportedly put forward a formal invitation for the JUI-F to ally with the PML-N to form a coalition government in the centre and Balochistan.
On forming a government in Balochistan, Fazl said that no decision has been reached in this regard between the parties.
“We have called for a party meeting and will take the matter forward after taking everyone’s opinion. We will continue with our mutual cooperation,” Fazl said.
Shahbaz said that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) won the mandate in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and should be given the right to form a government.
He also said that Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain should have refrained from making statements against the country, but “he [Altaf] retracted his statement which should be accepted”.

Those who are against PML-N- Respect peoples Choice
Status quo helping status quo, capability and reputation be damned. That's why change is so necessary.
Fazl-ur-Rehman should be forced to get a degree in economics and public policy. In fact, all elected politicians should be forced to do this. Pakistan does not run on halwa, and they are scaring away investors with inflammatory rhetoric.
Upcoming government of PML-N should be given its full term of 5 years. It could be evaluated in the time being for progress. But its accountability could only be done after completion of tenure. PTI should wait for Election 2018 now.
In any case if PTI could emerge as leading party in Center also, they would have done the same. As the "Clean Sweep" claimed by Imran Khan was not to happen. PTI is forming coalition government in KP, then PML-N can also do so in Balochistan.
@Ali! Is it "mature move" if PTI takes JI and QWP on board to form Govt in KP? :) It is also inevitable move. Mature moves will come when PTI will establish peace in KP and will develop it as role model province.
PML-N & PkMAP are leading parties in Balochistan with 9 seats each. PML-N should persuade all Baloch and Pashtoon parties to form strong govt there. Joining of JUI-F in Center could also be good.
I don`t believe Maulana......... He was with musharaaf then Zardari and now this what is he... ?
I tend to agree with Ali. If a "mature" move means getting seats and forming coalitions, then, NO ONE was more mature than President Zardari who was was inspirational in forming a government in 2008. Lets give this government some time and see if they follow the footsteps of their predecessors in making new records of corruption.
Victory dance for PML-N would be short as Sheikh Rashid said yesterday on Express tv...."June mei IMF ki kisst dayni hai"....
Someone please explain how's this a "mature" move. It's an inevitable move. PML needs seats, JUI has got seats. you do the math. Terming it mature and statesman like is kinda pushing it. Mature moves will come when its time to make policies, announce budget, collect taxes from the powerful etc. I hope to see some mature moves then but given the track record, I'm not holding my breath.
