The PPP has decided to attend a dinner being hosted by PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif for members of the opposition parties today (Monday).
The PPP delegation will reportedly include Opposition leader in the Senate Yousaf Raza Gilani, Raja Pervez Ashraf and Sherry Rehman.
PPP leader Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said that this was an invitation for opposition leaders and not of the Pakistan Democratic Movement alliance ( PDM). He further added, “Neither does the PDM president nor its secretary-general has the authority to kick PPP out of the alliance.”
“The differences with PPP could have been resolved over discussions or sit downs instead of sending show-cause notices,” Bukhari added.
Sources in the PPP said the party’s senior leadership thought attending the dinner would serve in the best interest of the opposition, in giving a tough time to the PTI government in the up coming budget session in the National Assembly, The News had reported.
As per earlier reports, Shehbaz Sharif invited the opposition leaders for a dinner on Monday, in Islamabad.
However, PPP and ANP were not invited by the PML-N at an Opposition meeting luncheon in Senate earlier today.
