KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto said on Monday that his party will attend the All Parties Conference summoned by Jamiat Ulema Islam-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman on October 31.
The announcement comes shortly after Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Shehbaz Sharif and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari briefly met during the National Assembly session.
After the session, former president Zardari said that there was no update on the issue of APC, while Shehbaz Sharif said that he will make a statement on the issue after consultation.
Sources on Sunday had informed that Fazl failed to convince former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to attend the APC.
Meanwhile, the JUI-F chief had said that Nawaz will make a decision after consulting PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif.
Earlier, PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari had agreed to attend the APC hosted by Maulana Fazl and said he was also willing to meet Nawaz.
However, sources told Geo News that Nawaz has been reluctant to hold a one-on-one meeting with Zardari. The sources said that Nawaz has reservations over PPP's role following the July 25 polls.
