LAHORE:
The morals at the PPP camp seemed to lift after a coordination meeting with the PML-N, which concluded with guarantees of addressing the complaints of the party in Punjab, with a monitoring meeting scheduled for April 12.
The two parties also agreed to form another subcommittee of four members who will meet weekly to review the progress, according to a carrier of the PPP office.
The session of almost two hours, held in the Chamber of the Governor of Punjab and attended by high -level leaders on both sides, ended with a positive note, unlike the previous meeting, which had reached a dead point.
A source of the party accredited the co-chair and president of PPP, Asif Ali Zardari, for progress, citing his call to the PML-N to refrain from unilateral decision making during a joint session.
According to the source, although some problems remain unsolved, the PML-N recognized most of the PPP concerns, since offering resolution guarantees or committing more discussions for viable solutions.
However, the PML-N did not accept the demand of the PPP to issue funds to certain notables. He questioned how people who did not play the elections or ran as independent could be considered PPP representatives. The problem, said the source, will be reviewed at the committee level.
Meanwhile, the PML-N agreed to resolve issues related to Earth for the Potohar campus of the University of Punjab. The issue of discretionary funds was discussed, now placed in the background, particularly in relation to allocations for PPP legislators.
The PPP recognized the performance of Punjab Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz, but raised concerns about certain governance deficiencies. He pointed out that projects such as Sethra Punjab and the model villages were mainly executing in PML-N strengths.
The coordination in southern Punjab had already improved, while in the center of Punjab, the PML-N assured the PPP of a better collaboration.
According to a statement from the governor’s chamber, both parties reaffirmed their commitment to work together and quickly implement public interest projects. They also agreed to hold coordination meetings in the first week of each month, with the next session scheduled for April 12.
The meeting also reviewed the well -being and development initiatives of Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz throughout the province.
The meeting attended key representatives of both the PPP and the PML-N. The PPP was represented by former Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, the governor of Punjab Sardar Salem Haider Khan, Nadeem Afzal Chan, Ali Haider Gillani and Syed Hassan Murtaza
The PML-N delegation was directed by the Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar. Other notable attendees included Rana Sanaullah, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Azam Nazeer Tarar, Mariyum Aurangzeb and the president of the Punjab Assembly, Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan.
The source of the party revealed that a subcommittee of four members that includes Hasan Murtaza, Ali Haider Gillani of PPP and Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan and Marriyum Aurangzeb of the PML-N was formed. The committee will review the progress every week.
He agreed that this was not the first time that the two parties formed a committee to resolve their differences, but such a committee never worked again. He admitted that the PML-N had made guarantees similar to the PPP, but pointed out that this time, the political climate was different.
In a separate development, a party leader revealed that President Asif Ali Zardari will attend a Pole event in Lahore on Sunday. He said the president will attend an IFTAR dinner at Nawab Shehzad’s residence after the event. He said they have not realized any political meeting.
Before the meeting of the Coordination Committee, a meeting of the provincial tasks committee was held at the Governor’s Chamber. The meeting was chaired by the president of PPP Central Punjab, Raja Pervez Ashraf. The meeting decided mainly to bring changes in the Sheikhupura district.
