“During the meeting, (Rahman) expressed concern over political instability in the country and is reported to have shared his desire for early return of normality by ensuring a level-playing field to all political parties in the coming elections,” Dawn reported Thursday.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting Wednesday, Rahman, who is the MMA secretary general, said the international community could not remain unconcerned over the situation arising out of the imposition of emergency in Pakistan.
