An important meeting is scheduled for this evening in Islamabad between Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

The discussions are expected to center on the concerns raised by the Sindh government and potential federal actions regarding canal projects.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah is also anticipated to attend this significant meeting. Both Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Murad Ali Shah are expected to arrive in Islamabad today for their discussions with the Prime Minister.

There are expectations that the federal government may announce significant developments or take action related to proposed canal projects on the Indus River, which have already faced strong objections from the Sindh government.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is likely to reassure Bilawal Bhutto that their concerns will be addressed.

The Pakistan People’s Party has convened a consultative meeting, with Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari summoning senior party leaders to Islamabad.
