Islamabad: PPP Coordination Committee met at Bilawal House under the Chairmanship of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, to coordinate and prioritise responses to the ongoing political challenges.

Members recounted their ongoing and unresolved issues from Punjab, South Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh as well as political, policy and development challenges at the federal level.

Policy issues such as flood rehabilitation, water management controversies, challenges to the agricultural and digital economy, public interest legislation were discussed in detail.

On reservations with the federal government, lack of timely consultation on political, policy and legislative matters, inability to implement commitments were identified as key stumbling blocks to be addressed.

Members also noted the growing surge in terrorism in the country and the absence of a new consensus to combat the new challenges resulting from new ground realities.

The PPP Chairman directed committee members to engage with political parties to determine on what issues political consensus can be formed, in order to present recommendations before Party’s Central Executive Committee later this month.
