Political issues were discussed during the meeting, as the clock ticks on the Opposition’s no-confidence motion — for which a session is expected to take place in the last week this month.
The government’s key ally in the Centre, the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA), Monday assured PM Imran Khan of complete support ahead of the no-trust motion, while other allies — BAP, MQM-P, and PML-Q — are still indecisive.

He said the PTI government always worked for the rule of law and the “welfare of the poor”.
PM Imran mentioned that the government had taken tough decisions to keep the economy stable, adding that it also bears the burden of heavy subsidies to provide relief to the poor.
