PM Nawaz Sharif has said that neither the government nor the army has asked to play any role of a mediator to bring the current political crisis to an end. <br />Addressing the National Assembly, Nawaz Sharif said that it was the matter of security and the army had to play its role. <br />Clarifying the army’s involvement in the political crisis, Nawaz said he received a call from army after which he allowed the latter to hold talks with the protesting groups, adding that the facts were misrepresented on media. <br />Nawaz said the protection of state buildings was the responsibility of the army under Article 245 of the constitution. <br />He said he will stand by his stance to uphold constitution and safeguard democracy. <br />Later today, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif held meeting with parliamentary leaders including Aftab Khan Sherpao, Ghulam Bilour, Farooq Sattar, Tariqullah, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Naveed Qamar. <br />During meeting, Nawaz Sharif said whatever he stated in the parliament was true.
