A meeting of opposition leaders was held in Parliament, presided by PML-N's Chaudhry Nisar. Effects of the Abbottabad operation and Parliament's resolution were discussed in detailed.

Speaking to the media afterwards, Chaudhry Nisar said a meeting of the opposition will take place again on Thursday, in which the next strategy will be finalised.
