ISLAMABAD: In an apparent thaw between the PPP and PML-N, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif and former president Asif Ali Zardari entered the Parliament together while exchanging views in a pleasant mode.
Though meeting between Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif could not be held despite all out efforts of chief of the JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, yet Zardari and Shahbaz held informal meeting at the lobby of the National Assembly. According to sources, it was decided during the meeting to continue the parliamentary cooperation. After attending the sitting of the National Assembly, Zardari left Parliament House. He told journalists while leaving that there was no update on the proposed all parties conference of the opposition parties. Shahbaz said he and Zardari inquired about each other’s wellbeing. To a question about the all parties conference, he said he will respond after consultation with the party.
Earlier, the NAB brought Shahbaz Sharif to the National Assembly with delay due to which he could not attend the PML-N parliamentary party. Talking to media persons on his arrival in the Parliament House on the production order of Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser, Shahbaz Sharif said the NAB did not want to bring him as first it made an excuse that the flight was delayed and then it said seat was not available. “They brought me through Motorway despite an ache in my back," he complained.
Meanwhile, the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said his party will attend the all parties conference. “Fazlur Rehman is convening the APC and the PPP will attend it,” Bilawal said in a brief reply to media persons before leaving the Parliament House. He did not divulge whether the top leadership of the PPP, including him or Zardari, will attend the conference. However, sources said the PPP has conveyed to the JUI-F chief that Zardari will attend the meeting only if Nawaz attends it. It was conveyed that the PPP delegation comprising of Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and Syed Khursheed Shah will attend the conference in case Nawaz Sharif opts against attending it.
