PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and former premier Nawaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD: Nawaz Sharif is chairing a high-level meeting of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders in Murree.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with PML-N leaders Chaudhry Nisar, Ahsan Iqbal, Mehtab Abbasi and Pervez Rasheed, are attending the meeting. 

Contemporary political developments and formation of a new federal cabinet are being discussed in the meeting, according to sources. 

The federal cabinet is expected to retain a majority of the members, on the same posts, that were part of Nawaz Sharif?s cabinet. Abbasi, too, was serving as the petroleum minister in Sharif?s cabinet till last Friday.

However, sources claimed that disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will not be a part of the new cabinet. 

Nawaz has been camped in Murree after vacating the PM House this weekend following his disqualification as prime minister by the Supreme Court.
