The PTI leader briefed the PM on the situation arising in Sindh after a joint investigation report on money laundering on fake bank accounts implicated the top leadership of Pakistan Peoples Party.

Following the report's submission in the Supreme Court, some PTI leaders hinted at imposing Governor’s Rule in the province, an idea shot down by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar.

The prime minister said he was aware of the difficulties faced by the people of Sindh, and the government will play its due role to resolve the issues.

Meanwhile, a committee has also been formed to enhance contacts between the ruling party and MQM-Pakistan.

Earlier, a delegation of MQM-P, a coalition partner of the government at the centre, comprising Law Minister Farogh Saleem and Minister for IT Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, among others, also called on the prime minister to discuss the political scenario.

The meetings come a day after opposition parties in the National Assembly agreed to evolve joint strategies on important national issues.
