Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday summoned a meeting of senior Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) members and federal and Punjab cabinet ministers in Raiwind.
According to sources, the meeting would aim at discussing options at hand for convincing Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) to abandon the idea of the ‘Azadi’ march.
The meeting scheduled to start at 4pm would also discuss options regarding the consequences of the march reaching the capital on August 14.
Sources said the meeting would also include retired army officers who are currently members of the PML-N to reflect on the situation from a possible military perspective.
