The PML-N has summoned a crash meeting today (Wednesday) to put heads together on ensuing impacts of the Supreme Court ruling on the NRO case and consequences of the government’s defiance in implementing it. PML-N President Nawaz Sharif would preside over the meeting to be attended by party ace leaders to map out the party’s strategy to get the SC decision implemented.
The decision to this effect was taken during an important meeting held at Nawaz’s residence in Raiwind. Leader of the Opposition in national Assembly Nisar Ali Khan and Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif were present in the meeting. The meeting also resolved to exert maximum pressure on the government to implement the SC verdict in its true letter and spirit. It observed that hiding behind Article 248 implied “something fishy” and said blaming courts of bigotry was conspiracy to blackmail the judiciary. The meeting also discussed the letter sent by JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman for conveying his recommendations for early polls. The letter entails suggestions regarding independent elections commission, verified voter lists and caretaker setup.
