The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) government and the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) have once again mended their differences after negotiations between the two sides on Monday.

A three-member government committee, comprising Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar, Chief Minister Usman Buzdar and Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood held talks with coalition partners to resolve issues relating to development funds and administrative powers.

The meeting held at the residence of PML-Q leader Pervaiz Elahi.

Defence Minister Pervez Khattak as well as Planning and Development Minister Asad Umer were also present on the occasion. Talking to media, Elahi said both the PTI and PML-Q would face all the challenges together through mutual consultation and discussions.

He said the PML-Q has a strong desire for the tabdeeli (change) during the tenure of Prime Minister Imran Khan for the larger interest of a common man.

He said the PML-Q has no doubts on the leadership, good intentions and struggle for a change by Prime Minister Imran Khan. Therefore, he said the PML-Q would continue with PTI until the next elections.

Speaking on the occasion, Defence Minister Pervez Khattak said Monday's meeting has removed misunderstandings of the government's allies and none of them are abandoning us.

He said all the issues and differences between the government and the PML-Q were small in nature as well as insignificant and some quarters were blowing them out of proportion.

He said both the sides have been in contact throughout this whole process and we would continue to be partners. According to him, the purpose of today's meeting was to dispel the misunderstandings that there were major differences between the two parties.

"There were some issues that were resolved after sitting down. If you don't take your allies on board, the situation can worsen. Therefore, we will carry out decisions after mutual consultation," he said.

"Issues will keep cropping up, they crop up in our homes too, but we will have to settle them. We assure the people that this partnership will last for the next three years," Khattak maintained.
