PTI's parliamentary party meets at parliament house

ISLAMABAD: A meeting of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) parliamentary party is in progress at the parliament house in Islamabad on Tuesday (today).

As per details, Prime Minister Imran Khan is chairing the meeting.

The meeting is also being attended by the allies of the ruling party.

The overall political situation and the strategy for the passage of the federal budget 2019-20 from the National Assembly, are being mulled over in the meeting.

The PTI is also engaging its disgruntled junior partners in the ruling alliance to ensure required numbers in the lower house of the parliament for passage of the finance bill.

A delegation of the government’s coalition partner, Balochistan National Party Mengal (BNP-M), yesterday called on PTI’s trouble-shooter Jahangir Tareen at his residence.

The delegation in a meeting with Tareen and other PTI leaders exchanged views on six-point demands of the party. Sources said that the PTI leadership assured BNP-M delegation for implementation of its demands.

The opposition, which has bluntly opposed the budget proposals of the government, is also holding consultations over the All Parties Conference and a movement to confront the government.

The main opposition party in the National Assembly, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, has also summoned its parliamentary party meeting this evening to discuss the political situation.
