Information Minister Shibli Faraz has blamed the past governments for the rising inflation, saying that it is because of their policies that the country is in its current state.
President Dr Arif Alvi has summoned sessions of both houses of parliament today at a time when the opposition-led Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is set for its first rally in Gujranwala.
PPP Senator Sherry Rehman said the Senate and National Assembly sessions were called today to prevent many of the opposition leaders from going to the Gujranwallah jalsa.
