ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif managed to convince the head of his coalition partner, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, to join the budget session after the latter skipped earlier debates owing to his grievances with the federal government.
The PPP leader was also reluctant to join the budget debate, and it took Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to convince him to come to the house so that the budget could be tabled.
