LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has barred the party members from meeting any personnel from the armed forces and its related agencies in a personal or official capacity.

PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal in a circular said, "If, however, such meeting is necessary in the interest of national security and/ or fulfillment of constitutional responsibilities then it shall be done indiscreetly with the prior permission of the party Quaid."

Ahsan said the PML-N was fighting the battle for survival of Pakistan, adding that our stance is based solely on national interests for constitutional supremacy in the country. He said the PML-N leadership is of the firm view that such meetings, even though conducted in good faith, may cause undue controversies.

"We all know that the contents of such meetings may be selectively leaked in order to serve specific interests and malign the political fraternity," he said.
