Pakistan People’s Party and the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf on Tuesday discussed launching a joint movement against the government. The two major parties vowed to give a tough time to PM Nawaz Sharif amid Panama leaks scandal where Mr Sharif’s family is accused of making billions through corruption. PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi met with senior PPP leaders Aitzaz Ahsan, Khurshid Shah and Saleem Mandviwala to discuss a joint strategy. Reportedly, PTI chief Imran Khan has signalled to summon All Parties Conference to launch a movement against the government. Mr Khan also held telephonic conversation with Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq on Tuesday to discuss the matter. In an “address to the nation” on Sunday, Mr Khan said his party will march towards PM Sharif’s residence in Lahore’s Raiwind area instead of Red Zone in Islamabad.
