(Karachi) As existing political tensions between the government and opposition parties intensify, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) have decided to resign from the National Assembly seats, local media reported on Tuesday.
As per details, the development is a result of repeated contacts between PML-N founder and former premier Nawaz Sharif and the PPP co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari.
Reportedly, the PML-N supremo convinced Zardari to resign from the NA as part of an anti-government move. Both the parties have agreed to tender resignation from the NA at an ‘appropriate time’.
A meeting of the Pakistan Democratic Alliance is being held today in which the strategy against the government and the future course of action will be decided.
