Author: Agencies

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has formed a committee to raise grievances with the Federal government.

As per details, the committee will comprise Raja Pervez Ashraf, Naveed Qamar, Sherry Rehman, Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah, Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfaraz Bugti, Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmoud, Governor Punjab Sardar Saleem Hyder, Governor Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi and Haider Gilani.

The committee will interact with the Federal government to raise the different issues and will submit its report to the meeting of Central Executive Committee (CEC) to be held next month.

The notification in this regard was issued from the Chairman’s Secretariat by his Political Secretary Jameel Soomro here on Wednesday.

Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi on Wednesday lauded the decision to form the committee to raise issues with the federal government.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) has officially demanded the chairmanship of Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Senator Saleem Mandviwalla wrote to National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, urging him a meeting on the requisition submitted by the 11 PAC members.

The PPP hinted at convening the session independently if the speaker delays.

Mandviwalla requested the speaker’s support, suggesting members elect an interim chairman until a permanent one is chosen.

Meanwhile, the PTI insists on Sheikh Waqas Akram for the role. The PML-N has signaled support for the PPP’s claim, prolonging the PCA’s leadership stalemate since March.
