According to ARY News, the sources informed that the meeting would decide regarding the second phase of the movement against the government besides also mulling over options of a long march and resignations.
"In the first phase, 10 opposition parties in the alliance have supported the move to resign from National Assembly, however, the PPP is in favour to wait for a suitable time for the decision," they said.
This comes ahead of the PDM's public gathering in Lahore on December 13, after holding similar rallies in Peshawar, Gujranwala, Karachi, Quetta and Multan since October 16. (ANI)
