“This special committee for the economy will consider only current economic conditions and will propose solutions. I hope that governmentt and all opposition parties will contribute in their best for country’s greater cause,” he added in a subsequent tweet.
The idea of a charter of economy — an arrival at a common ground of sorts between the warring government and opposition benches — had been proposed by both PPP and PML-N.

On Friday, former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari had said that he had proposed a charter of economy to the government, “but they are not receptive to the idea. They are mocking the suggestion, but there is a precedent for it.”
