PM chairs ‘APC’ to Make Consent over Financial corridor project

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has convened a meeting of the heads of all the parliamentary parties today to address their concerns over China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Sources Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah is not attending the meeting as reportedly he was given belated invitation for the meeting.

The first such ‘All Parties Conference’ on the CPEC was held on May 28, 2015.

The two provinces which have reservations over CPEC are Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtonkhwa.

The Conference has been called to build consensus among political parties and remove any concerns they have regarding the mega project.

The APC is being attended by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, Maulana Fazal-Ur-Rehman, Shah Manhood Qureshi, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Aftab Sherpao, Akhtar Mengal, Mushahid Hussain, JI Chief Siraj-ul-Haq and others.

Chairman of the parliamentary committee on CPEC, Mushahid Hussain Syed has said that all the parties were agreed that CPEC would help in the progress and prosperity of the country.

“All the political parties have assured complete support on this project,” he claimed.
