The top leaders of major opposition political parties have met in Islamabad to discuss ways to corner the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan over his alleged failure in handling the country's economic crisis.
Wednesday's multiparty meeting took place the same day that Pakistan's currency dropped to an all time low of 160 rupees to the dollar. It also came weeks after Khan vowed to ensure that all corrupt politicians are held accountable for wrongdoing.
The gathering was attended by leaders of the parties of former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
According to Dawn News TV channel, Shahbaz during the MPC urged the opposition to unite in order to "take the nation out of their hardship". He said the nation is reeling under the "anti-people" budget presented by the government and the opposition should strive together to make the budget unsuccessful.
PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz said the national economy was in an "abject" shape and the people were looking towards the opposition for relief.
"Our fight is not with [Prime Minister] Imran Khan but with those who selected him," she was quoted as saying by sources close to the meeting.
