ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari would meet Quaid Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif today (Monday) wherein issues pertaining to repeal of 17th amendment, Kerry-Lugar Law (KLL), Charter of Democracy (CoD), war against terrorism, overall country's political situation would be discussed, Geo news reported late on Sunday night.
According to sources Quaid PML-N Mian Muhammad Nawaz would press the President not to take test of Parliament by bringing National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) into it for sake of its ratification because he would oppose it inside or outside Parliament.
Constitutional recommendations for revoking 17th amendment would be finalized during the meeting.
The meeting is going to take place at that time when Nawaz's party PML-N has decided to oppose KKL and NRO, sources said.
The meeting is being arranged so that the national agenda in the light of charter of democracy, which was signed by slain Former Premier Benazir Bhutto and Quaid PML-N Mohammad Nawaz Sharif, could be devised.
Ongoing operation Rah-e-Nijat against militants in South Wazirisitan Agency (SWA ) and political reconciliation, 17th amendment and NRO would be key agenda of meeting.
On the other hand, the President would host a luncheon in honor of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at Awan-e-Sadr to be attended by Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, head of armed forces and opposition leaders, however, spokesman of presidency has dispelled the impression about any meeting between President and Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif at that time.
The Turkish Premier would also address the joint session of Parliament. It would be the first address of any Turkish Premier and fourth of any foreigner head to joint session of Parliament.
