The members of the PPP and the media representatives briefly informed the National Assembly session on Friday on separate matters.
The PPP, which is a partner of the coalition of the PML-N ruler in the center, has been outraged after the comments of Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz in the middle of an ongoing crack between the two parties on the relief of the floods. Meanwhile, journalists have been protesting a raid from the Islamabad Police yesterday at the National Press Club (NPC), during which media people were attacked.
Some time after the na session began today, PPP’s ship said: “I mean this in the record that in the last session, we had raised some problems. We had also protested and left. After that, the government sent a team that dedicated himself to dialogue with us.”
He, however, said nothing changed despite the conversations. “There has been no difference in the ground […] We cannot be part of this house until this matter is resolved. ”
“So, we are dating today,” he announced.
Later, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar began his speech expressing the hope that the differences between the PPP and PML-N will be resolved. He also asked the Minister of Law Azam Nazeer Tarar and the National Minister of Food Security and Research, Frog Tanveer Hussain, to speak and convince PPP leaders to join the session if they had not left Parliament by then.
While Dar continued his speech, some of the members of the PPP were seen returning to the hall in the middle of applause.
Given that, the Foreign Minister expressed his gratitude and said that the problems between the two parties would be solved with the participation of leadership on both sides.
The PPP had left the last na session on September 30 for Maryam’s comments.
The war war between the two parties, which had begun on flood compensation, expanded to water rights in the Indo River as the Punjab prime minister told the PPP leadership to maintain advice for itself. In response, the PPP caused the legislators to remain away from the National Assembly and the sessions of the Senate to protest the diatribe.
On Wednesday, PPP and PML-N Bigwigs met in Islamabad to find an exit from the row, and the first asked Maryam to “rely his tone” while talking about water rights and the ruler of Sindh.
