Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab and PPP leader Farooq H Naik also spoke to the media after the huddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, PPP and PML-N delegations had reached the speaker\u2019s chamber to discuss the prevailing political situation in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PML-N delegation comprised PML-N Senator Rana Sanaullah and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, while the PPP delegation included Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, Sherry Rehman, Murtaza Wahab, Farooq H Naik and Sindh Interior Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to journalists, Rehman said regular meetings were held in the speaker\u2019s chamber regarding parliamentary sessions, adding that the current session was nearing its conclusion and the issues between the coalition partners needed to be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have differences among ourselves, which is a clear fact,\u201d she said, adding that matters of disagreement were also discussed during the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehman said the PPP had not come merely to complete the quorum. \u201cWe have had differences and want the issues to be resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She further stated that if the two parties were in a coalition, the coalition also had to be respected. \u201cUntil the issues are resolved, the sessions will remain incomplete,\u201d Rehman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her remarks came days after PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said the party would withhold its support for the PML-N-led government until its concerns, including over the upcoming Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections, were addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My party has decided that PPP&#8217;s cooperation, coordination and legislation with the PML-N on general issues cannot continue until our legitimate concerns are addressed,&#8221; he had warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Wahab \u2014 while speaking to the media today \u2014 said the two parties had been working together for a long time, adding that the meeting was held to discuss issues and find solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe always talk about issues and want the problems to be resolved,\u201d Wahab said, describing the meeting as a routine interaction between the coalition partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farooq H Naik said the meeting had taken place in a good and pleasant atmosphere, adding that \u201ceverything is fine\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;No-confidence motion&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq said the government had repeatedly invited Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for talks but had now become tired of extending such invitations and would not issue further calls for negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the resignations submitted by PTI members from parliamentary committees had not yet been accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speaker also said bringing a no-confidence motion against the prime minister or the speaker was the opposition\u2019s constitutional right, adding that if such a motion was brought, it would be dealt with according to the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Sherry Rehman has said parliamentary sessions will remain incomplete until the party\u2019s outstanding issues with the PML-N-led government are resolved.
