• Gilani, Pervez, Sherry attend dinner reception
• Parties vow to resist ‘anti-people’ budget
• Alliance doesn’t invite PPP to today’s moot
ISLAMABAD: In what appears to be an attempt to revive the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shehbaz Sharif on Monday hosted a dinner reception for all mainstream opposition parties.
However, the effort apparently aimed at bringing the Pakistan Peoples Party back to the multiparty alliance remained ineffective as PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari did not attend the dinner though senior leaders of his party did.
It was learnt that the PDM formally called a meeting of the heads of all opposition parties on Tuesday (today) without inviting the PPP to it.
