Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif has said that no party has the right to kick another out from the Pakistan Democratic Movement alliance.

He made the comment at a time when reports emerged regarding his interest in seeing  Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Awami National Party (ANP) rejoin the alliance, IBNS said. 

"No party has the right to bring or kick another party out [of the alliance]. PDM is a forum and decisions are taken with consensus," Shahbaz was quoted as saying by The News International when asked about the PPP and ANP.

He also explained to reporters that when the consultations are completed and a decision is taken then the president of the alliance announces the future course of action.

When the reporters pressed the PML-N president about his stance on the two parties' return, he clarified that he does not have a "personal opinion" and whatever he says is always the "party's opinion".
