ISLAMABAD, Pakistan News: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday called on President Asif Ali Zardari here at the presidency and discussed with him the current political situation of the country.

The two leaders exchanged views over the upcoming socio-economic uplift package for Balochistan, post NRO scenario, the expected reshuffle in federal cabinet and various issues relating to the concerns of ruling allies.

Sources said the discussion dominated the scathing criticism facing ruling quarters including president house following the exposed list of NRO beneficiaries.

In the meeting, it was also discussed to invite PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif for another meeting aimed at deescalating tension with the “friendly opposition.”

It merits mentioning here that Zardari has summoned the joint session of both the Houses of the Parliament on Tuesday to approve the Balochistan package.

All arrangements for the joint sitting have reportedly been finalized.
