Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said in a statement that the meeting, which was attended by senior party leadership, has decided to highlight measures like cuts in government spending and abolition of discretionary powers of the Prime Minister.

The meeting also decided to highlight in media the party’s decision of electing a parliamentarian hailing from middle class family as the chief minister of the Punjab. The information minister said the government would also apprise the people of the extravagant actions of the former PML-N government, besides holding briefings on previous government’s poor performance in the fields of economy, particularly power and energy sectors. It was also decided that the government would take all decisions through consultation and after taking the parliament into confidence.
