The PM has summoned the meeting to brief the members about the government’s strategy to counter the opposition’s anti-government movement. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi along with other Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders will also address the meeting. The meeting will take place at the parliament house at 3 pm.

The opposition has accepted Information Minister Shibli Faraz's challenge to fill the stadium. Promising ‘big power show’, PML-N Senator Pervaiz Rashid asked Faraz if he would resign when the venue is full.
