Nawaz, Zardari to meet on Tuesday
ISLAMABAD: PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari are set to meet on Tuesday, August 5, according to a message issued by PPP spokesman Farhatullah Babar on Saturday. The meeting, which many commentators of politics are calling make-or-break, will be held at a lunch hosted by Zardari at his Islamabad residence, a cell phone message sent to reporters by Babar said. Nawaz is prepared to have a “final word” with the PPP co-chairman about the reinstatement of sacked judges and impeachment of President Pervez Musharraf, sources said. The two leaders will discuss the future prospects of the “fragile” PPP-led coalition government, the sources said. Zardari will try convincing the PML-N chief not to take any “decisive step” as the coalition government was facing serious challenges, the sources said. Meanwhile, Nawaz has convened a joint meeting of the PML-N CWC and the parliamentary committee in Lahore on Monday. muhammad bilal
