ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs Rana Sanaullah on Friday said that opposition leaders chose to skip the federal budget session despite invitation from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
He stated this while talking to journalists after the cabinet meeting. When a journalist asked whether any discussion had taken place regarding Azad Jammu and Kashmir in the meeting, Rana Sanaullah replied that the meeting focused exclusively on budget-related matters.
Rana Sanaullah said that the situation in Azad Kashmir had improved significantly compared to the previous two days.
