The publication said PDM will also discuss federal government's alleged defiance of electoral laws and pre-poll rigging ahead of the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) legislative assembly elections - including Prime Minister Imran Khan announcing provisional provincial status for the northern region.
It is unlikely that Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal would attend the meeting due to the GB campaign trail. Sources told The News, PDM will also discuss inflation, worsening law and order situation and other matters.
The impact of US polls’ outcome on the regional as well international situation would also be discussed by the PDM leaders in an informal way.
