Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has summoned a meeting of the ruling parties on Wednesday to discuss the possibility of talks with the PTI.
The meeting will also take stock of the political situation in light of the SC verdict that had directed the ECP to conduct elections in Punjab on May 14.
During the last hearing, the topcourt, however, had given political parties time to reach a consensus on simultaneous elections by April 27, while keeping the date of May 14 intact.
Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the meeting would be held on Wednesday, rejectingthe media reports that the premier plans to get a vote of confidence from coalition partners amid differences over the idea of talks with PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
