Political activities in the country have reached their peak ahead of the Supreme Court’s April 27 deadline on updating it on the negotiations among political parties for finalizing a mutually acceptable date for holding elections in Punjab.
Separate meetings of the federal cabinet, PML-N’s parliamentary party, and allied ruling parties are scheduled to take place today, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif presiding over the meetings.
Sources said Prime Minister Sharif will first chair a meeting of parliamentary leaders of ruling coalition parties. The meeting is expected to hold detailed consultations on the country’s political situation.
The PM may also consult the allied party leaders on negotiations with the PTI, the sources said, adding the participants of the meeting will also consider the Supreme Court case in detail.
A strategy is also expected to be devised on the issue of the alleged audio leak of the chief justice of Pakistan’s mother-in-law.
Also, the impact of the expected decision of the SC on the elections will also be examined. Later, the prime minister is also expected to chair a meeting of the federal at 2:30 pm today. Both important meetings are set to chalk out the future course of action.
