ISLAMABAD, Sept 4: The Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-N postponed a scheduled meeting on Tuesday and will now meet here on Wednesday to discuss the issues of caretaker set-up and also try to work out a broader agenda including the National Accountability Commission (NAC) Bill, 2010, leaders of the two parties told Dawn on Tuesday.

PPP’s chief whip in the National Assembly Syed Khurshid Shah and Senator Ishaq Dar of the PML-N will lead the delegations at the meeting to be held in the Punjab House.

The meting could not take place on Tuesday because Khurshid Shah had gone to Karachi to attend party meetings presided over by President Asif Ali Zardari.

Talking to Dawn, Ishaq Dar said there was no fixed agenda for the meeting which was being arranged at PPP’s request. “Actually the PPP leaders wanted to meet us and it would be discourteousness if we refused,” he said.

However, PML-N leader Khwaja Asif, who is in his party’s three-member team, said: “I think the National Accountability Commission will dominate all other issues.”

It is believed that the government wanted to introduce the new accountability law during its five-year term ending in February next year with the consent of the N-League which had already given dissenting notes on the proposed NAC-Bill, 2010, in a series of meetings of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Law and Justice.

Another PML-N leader, Anusha Rehman, said that besides the NAC bill some other national issues could be discussed at the meeting. Not only the matter of caretaker set-up but all major national issues should be discussed, she said.
