PPP recants decision to boycott federal budget session
Deputy Prime Minister Senator Ishaq Dar held multiple meetings with the PPP’s top leaders to convince them to attend the federal budget session which seemingly remained successful.

In a recent development, two senior PPP leaders Syed Khurshid Shah and Syed Naveed Qamar reached the parliament. Sources said that only Khurshid, Naveed and Aijaz Jakhrani will attend today’s session.

Ahead of the announcement of federal budget 2024-25, the PPP — a key political ally of the ruling PML-N — announced not to attend the budget session.

PPP Information Secretary Shazia Marri confirmed the major decision taken by the Bilawal-led party while talking to Geo News ahead of the federal budget for FY25.

She said that PPP lawmakers will not attend the budget session and urged the ruling Nawaz-led party to fulfil the contents of the agreement made with her party.

Marri complained that her party was not consulted on Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) by the PML-N-led federal government.

She added that the party lawmakers expressed serious reservations for not being included in the budget-related consultations by the federal government.
