ISLAMABAD: PPP Senator Raza Rabbai said Wednesday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has assured a review of the Pakistan Protection Ordinance (PPO) and directed Zahid Hamid to consult the opposition.



Rabbani spoke to reporters following a meeting between the PPP delegation led by Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. “Reservations of the PPP and other opposition parties were conveyed to Prime Minister Nazwaz Sharif,” Rabbani said.

The PPP senator said all democratic forces will have to move forward together. He added that if a bad time arose they would support democratic forces.

When asked by a reporter if the meeting discussed a ‘billa,’ Rabbani replied that all matters including Musharraf were discussed and the prime minister said tension with the Pakistan army was not that serious of an issue.
