ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has convened a meeting of its Central Executive Committee (CEC) to hold consultations on the issue of resigning from assemblies, ARY News reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

However, the PPP has not announced a date for holding of Central Executive Committee meeting.
The PPP in a PDM meeting today had shown “reservations” over linking the resignations with the march and had sought time to hold consultations within its Central Executive Committee (CEC) before informing the PDM of its decision.
