Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is set to gather allies to address the growing tensions with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The meeting is expected to cover the security situation, the imposition of the governor's rule, and the ongoing protests. According to a source in the Prime Minister's House, Shehbaz Sharif plans to meet with President Asif Ali Zardari and PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to discuss the political and security challenges in KP.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi recently visited President Zardari in Karachi, signaling the significance of these talks. The PTI has warned of dire consequences if the governor's rule is imposed, but the government remains committed to discussing the issue. Meanwhile, a delegation-level meeting between the PML-N and the PPP took place in the National Assembly speaker's chamber, where both parties discussed the fate of KP.
The PPP agreed to support the government's decisions on security issues, including the possibility of imposing the governor's rule due to the rise in terrorism.
