Both leaders express concern over spread of coronavirus in country
According to details, both the leaders agreed on a joint strategy for the next year’s fiscal budget.
They also exchanged views on the 18th Constitutional Amendment and government’s measures on the National Finance Commission (NFC) award.
“By criticising the 18th Constitutional Amendment, Imran Khan is attacking the constitution,” Bilawal said.
They expressed concern over the growing number of Covid-19 patients in the country and deliberated the holding of all parties’ conference next week.
Bilawal, Shehbaz reject federal budget
“PTI-IMF budget is anti-people. We cannot accept it,” the PPP chairman said.
“Due to the incompetence of the government, coronavirus has spread everywhere,” he added.
Both the leaders also rejected the increase in the petroleum price and noted that this was the time to provide maximum relief to the people.
A few days back, Mengal announced his party's withdrawal from its alliance with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led federal government over its failure to implement accords with the party.
Speaking during a session of the National Assembly, he said: "I am officially announcing that our party is ending its alliance with the PTI. We will stay in Parliament and will keep talking about issues."
Mengal added that the PTI had signed two agreements with the party at the time of government formation after the 2018 elections and later during the presidential elections, but not a single point of the accord was implemented.
