PML-N and PPP Vow Dialogue After Rift Over Flood Relief

A Speaker-led huddle produced a pause in the war of words.

Overview

  • Senior leaders met in Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq’s chamber with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and agreed to address disputes through mutual understanding.
  • PPP’s Naveed Qamar and Ejaz Jakhrani objected to Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s recent statements and urged restraint to protect cooperation.
  • A PPP delegation separately met Ishaq Dar, demanding that Maryam Nawaz retract and publicly apologize for her Punjab-related remarks.
  • The core disagreement concerns flood relief delivery, with PPP advocating BISP cash transfers and Punjab insisting on provincial funds and its own relief card.
  • PML-N figures Azma Bokhari and Rana Sanaullah criticized PPP and questioned BISP data, while media reported a PPP walkout from the National Assembly.
