Over 25 experts were also attending the meeting in Raiwind to consider strategies to resolve the two most pressing issues facing the country.

The meeting was also discussing options such as construction of dams and other short and long term measures to address the country’s power crisis.

PML-N’s Punjab president Shahbaz Sharif, party leaders Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Khawaja Asif and Ahsan Iqbal, and others, including Shaukaat Tareen, a brother of PTI leader Jehangir Tareen, were present at the meeting.
