LAHORE:

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of the Opposition Shahbaz Sharif held telephone talks with leaders of other political parties on Saturday.

On Saturday (today) he spoke with Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Sirajul Haq and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai.

During the telephonic contact, the PML-N president consulted the two leaders on the strategy for the upcoming joint sitting of the Parliament and for the NAB Amendment Ordinance. The leaders also discussed strategies to challenge the ‘black law’ within and outside parliament.

The PML-N president also suggested that a ‘response’ be given inside and outside parliament against the increasing inflation in the country and that a joint strategy should be adopted to tackle the issue.

The other leaders agreed with Shehbaz, adding that ‘Naya Pakistan’ had become the most expensive Pakistan.

On Friday, Shehbaz had a telephonic conversation with Pakistan People’s Party Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto and discussed the current political situation of the country.

On Thursday Shehbaz rejected the relief package revealed by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

In his statement, Shehbaz said that just like the promises and budget of the present government, their so-called relief package is also a bundle of lies.

He maintained that it is self-deception to take anything seriously by a government that has unreliable budget figures.
