Raja Riaz Ahmed officially joined the Muslim League-N, expressing full confidence in Nawaz Sharif’s leadership. The occasion was also attended by Senator Ishaq Dar, Mian Nasir Janjua, Attaullah Tarar, Malik Ahmed Khan, Azam Nazir Tarar, and Amjad Parvez.
Raja Riaz stated earlier to the media, “I am here to engage in a political dialogue with Nawaz Sharif that encompasses discussions about the upcoming elections and Mian Sahab’s return.
” He expressed optimism about the days ahead, hinting at potential significant decisions that could influence Pakistan’s political landscape in the near future.
