LAHORE: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari met PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz today at Jati umrah in Lahore.
The PPP chairperson offered condolences over the demise of Begum Shamim Akhtar, the mother of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and grandmother of Maryam.
Former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, Senator Sherry Rehman, Qamar Zaman Kaira accompanied the PPP chairman. PML-N's Ahsan Iqbal, Rana Sanaullah and Marriyum Aurangzeb were also present during the meeting.
It is expected that they will discuss a strategy for the Pakistan Democratic Movement's Sunday jalsa in Lahore.
The government has said it doesn't plan to place containers at the entry points of the provincial capital during the rally.
The PDM leadership, however, believes the government will use all tactics to victimise the Opposition like it did in Multan a few days ago.
Apart from discussing the issue of resignations from assemblies, Bilawal and Maryam are expected to discuss the strategy to counter any plan of the government if it uses the option of using force against the PDM activists.
Lahore is a stronghold of the PML-N as well its base camp for decades, where the jalsa will be held on December 13.
