PPP 'welcomes' opposition's invite to multiparty moot, says will forward it to Bilawal for decision

ISLAMABAD: Opposition alliance Tehreek-i-Tahafuz-Ayin-i-Pakistan (TTAP) on Tuesday invited the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a key ally of the ruling PML-N in the Centre, to attend multiparty conference that is being planned by the opposition. For its part, the PPP said it “welcomes the move” and would forward the invitation to the party’s chairperson, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari. The TTAP would then be informed of his stance. The development was confirmed in separate but similar statements by the two sides. The opposition had first announced its intention to hold a multiparty moot on Sept 11, with the PTI leading the initiative. PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan had outlined plans to hold the conference, saying that “the current law and order situation, the economy, inflation, lawlessness, and the creation of new provinces issue” called for such measures. His statement to the media came after a meeting with Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leaders, who have agreed to attend the opposition’s moot. A delegation of the TTAP, led by Barrister Gohar, called on PPP Secretary General Nayyar Hussain Bukhari at the party’s Central Secretariat in Islamabad and formally invited his party to the moot as well, statements by the two sides said. The delegation also included Leader of Opposition in the Senate Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, Senator Zeeshan Akhunzada and TTAP spokesperson Akhunzada Hussain Yousafzai. The TTAP delegation briefed Bukhari on the objectives and purpose of the planned multiparty conference, the statements said, They also discussed the political situation in the country, supremacy of the Constitution, strengthening of democratic institutions, contacts between political parties and other matters. The statements quoted Bukhari as saying that the PPP considered “engagement and consultation with political parties on constitutional and democratic matters important”. Speaking to Dawn after the meeting, TTAP spokesperson Yousafzai said the multiparty conference would be held after PTI’s protest, which is scheduled for Oct 4 to demand the release of its jailed founder, Imran Khan. “We have started meeting with the representatives of political parties so that the date and venue for the moot is finalised,” he said, adding that since the PPP had taken a clear stance over the creation of new provinces, the opposition had decided to invite it as well. In the recent past, the proposal for the creation of new administrative units was first floated by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in July. The proposition drew strong reactions from government ministers, while the country’s leading lawyers’ bodies adopted divergent positions. The PPP, which rules Sindh, has strongly opposed any division of the province and maintains that any decision to create new provinces must be taken through the constitutional and parliamentary process and with political consensus. Meanwhile, the relationship between the PPP and the PML-N had also been strained lately during acrimonious election campaigns in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. The TTAP also plans invite other parties to it opposition’s moot. Yousafzai said Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI), Awami National Party (ANP) and Jamaat-i-Islami would also be invited to the moot, but the ruling PML-N and its ally in the Centre, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan, would not be extended an invitation. The TTAP has also formed a six-member committee to hold consultations with political parties and reach an agreement on the agenda for the proposed MPC.

DPM Dar hails 'whole of govt' approach as he reviews govt fuel subsidy scheme

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Tuesday appreciated the success of the Prime Minister’s Fuel Relief Scheme, saying that it reflected a “whole of government” approach. The relief scheme for owners of motorcycles, rickshaws and vehicles of up to 800cc was rolled out across the country on Sept 17. PM Shehbaz Sharif had announced the subsidies to ease the public’s burden amid rising fuel prices due to the Middle East situation. On Tuesday, DPM Dar chaired a meeting of the National Steering Committee on Fuel Subsidy to review the implementation of the scheme, his office said. The deputy premier noted that the information, IT and petroleum ministries, as well as the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra), the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and all provinces, had made “concerted” efforts for the scheme. “Dar stressed the need for continued coordination to facilitate beneficiaries and ensure smooth service delivery across the country,” the statement said. It noted that to date, around 7.60 million registrations have been successfully made, and the token redemption process has entered the second week. Moreover, 7.71m tokens have been redeemed. The meeting was attended by IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, PM’s Special Assistant on DPM Office Tariq Bajwa, the federal and provincial secretaries, and officials from SBP, Ogra, National Information Technology Board, and Pakistan Digital Authority. Under the relief scheme, owners of two- and three-wheeled vehicles were to receive a subsidy of Rs100 per litre on a monthly quota of 20 litres, while those owning vehicles of up to 800cc were to receive the same subsidy on a monthly quota of 30 litres. Fuel prices amid Mideast conflict Renewed hostilities in the Middle East, which have resulted in the disruption of major oil supply routes, have caused fuel prices to rise over the past two months. In addition to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Iran war, trade via Bab al-Mandab — which has become a vital route for Saudi oil exports in recent months — is also facing a rising threat from Houthi rebels. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said that global oil supply and demand will fall further than previously thought this year, as a lack of progress in ending the Iran war delays the return of normal Middle East flows into 2027 and sends fuel prices soaring. In July, the government announced that fuel prices would now be fixed on a daily basis due to fluctuations in international market prices. Prior to this, the government had been announcing weekly revisions to fuel prices since early March, alongside measures for the conservation of fuel. The federal government had also announced targeted relief measures in April to provide subsidised fuel.
