Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif attended the meeting of the his party lawmakers and told them they should be proud of his leader who was not disqualified on corruption charges.
He said he was mentally prepared to render any sacrifice for the country.

"They say i should have declared the asset. Why should i have declared the asset, when i didn't draw any salary," said he.
"There are those whose pockets are full, but they don't declare it" he said. "Now the nation comes to know why i have been disqualified"
The meeting also endorsed party leadership's decision to appoint Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as interim prime minister for 45 days before electing Shahbaz Sharif to the post.
