Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari held a phone call on Thursday in which they discussed the country’s prevailing political situation amid PML-N and PPP war of words during the recent weeks.
The federal government coalition allies are trading barbs over how the PPP and PML-N have been providing aid to victims of the recent floods. The feud escalated to the point that leaders from both sides hold daily press conferences to take potshots at each other.
In a post on X, the PPP confirmed the telephone call had taken place and that the country’s political situation, foreign policy and flood aid were among the topics of discussion. The war of words between the two sides expanded to water rights on the Indus River as Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif told the PPP leadership to keep its advice to itself.
