PPP has delayed its Central Executive Committee (CEC) — scheduled for April 5 — after President Arif Alvi convened a Senate session on the same day, party chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said Saturday.
The PPP had called the CEC meeting to decide on resignations from assemblies after its leadership came under fire from the Opposition parties over the issue. While all major parties have shown their willingness for the move, PPP has sought time to deliberate on the matter.
A review of the criticism from within the Opposition to the party’s unilateral move to get Senator Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani elected as Leader of the Opposition in the Senate was also on the agenda.
The PPP chairman, while announcing the decision during a media briefing in Khairpur, said he aspires for a united Opposition and hopes Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman would play his role to unify them.
