The father-son duo expressed well wishes for PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s health and also inquired about Shehbaz, who had recently tested positive for the coronavirus.
The three leaders discussed the political situation in the country in a meeting which was also attended by Maryam Nawaz, Hamza Shehbaz, Marriyum Aurangzeb, PML-N leader Saad Rafique, PPP Punjab General Secretary Hassan Murtaza and the PPP’s Rukhsana Bangash.
It is pertinent to mention here that Shahbaz called Bilawal on Friday and invited him for a luncheon meeting on the instruction of former prime minister Nawaz. PML-N officials had said that the meeting was being arranged on Nawaz’s directive who, they claim, had been contacted multiple times by the PPP.
PML-N leaders said the PPP wished to start the no-confidence or in-house change process from Punjab while they were desirous of seeing change in the federal setup as well.
Zardari and Bilawal are expected to meet the PPP’s Punjab leadership ahead of the Feb 27 march on Islamabad. Similarly, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)’s long march towards Islamabad is expected to be held on March 23.
