Summary PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari invited opposition leaders.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) -  A major huddle of opposition parties held in in the federal capital on Sunday. The opposition mulled over strategy against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government, particularly in the backdrop of the bad economic condition of the country.

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari invited opposition leaders, including PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz Sharif, to an Iftar dinner today.

The opposition parties’ meeting also includes delegations from Awami National Party (ANP) and Jamaat-e-Islami. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz are also attending the meeting.

Among other leaders attending the Iftar dinner are Aftab Sherpao, Liaquat Baloch, PTM leaders and Shah Awais Noorani.

Akhtar Mengal and Mahmood Khan Achazkzai have excused from attending the meeting due to prior personal commitments.

The opposition rejected the recent proposed hike in the prices of oil and gas. The opposition leaders also expressed their concerns over NAB actions.

Sources said that Bilawal Bhutto has played an important role to bring the opposition on the same page. Sunday’s iftar dinner could prove an important step for the protest movement against PTI’s Government.
