The PPP leadership – Nayyar Bukhari, Jamil Soomro and Humayun Khan – were present in the meeting, while Maulana Asad Mahmood was also present from the JUI-F.
According to sources, the main purpose of this meeting was to appoint the opposition leader in the National Assembly and to formulate an effective strategy, keeping in mind the opposition figures. Bilawal Bhutto wants JUI-F to also stand with the PPP in the election of the opposition leader.
