LONDON: The first round of talks between the leadership of Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for the judges restoration came to an end on Friday evening.

According to sources, both the leaders failed to achieve consensus on the restoration of the judges; however, they agreed upon continuing the negotiations.

After the talks, both the leaders accompanied with Shahbaz Sharif left for a hospital where the Kulsoom Nawaz is under treatment.

Earlier, on arriving at the residence of Nawaz Zardari, Asif Zardari said the ruling coalition is not in jeopardy, adding the nation will hear the good news regarding judges.

According to media reports, Ishaq Dar, Khawja Asif, Ghaus Ali Shah and Hussain Haqqani attended the meeting.

When the leaders came outside after the negotiations, Asif Ali Zardari kept quiet most of the time on questions posed by the journalists. However, Mian Nawaz Sharif told the mediamen that the negotiations are still underway and will continue a little afterwards.

Nawaz Sharif denied the possibility of MQM inclusion in the negotiations.
