ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian (PPP) President, Makhdoom Amin Fahim, called off his meetings with Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif and Jamaat Islami amir Qazi Hussain Ahmed on Sunday morning.

A private television channel reports that Amin Fahim was scheduled to arrive today in Lahore to hold meetings with Mian Nawaz Sharif and Qazi Hussain Ahmed; however, he canceled the programme owing to his party related schedule in Islamabad.

Meantime, the parliamentary parties of PPPP and PML-N are holding their meetings here in Islamabad. These sessions would mull over the significant affairs including future course of action.

Another report says that Senior Vice President Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Makhdoom Amin Fahim Sunday strongly condemned the Supermarket blast, which claimed life of a foreigner and injured 14 others.

He termed the incident ‘tragic’ and said it should be taken seriously, which took place in heart of the capital, he told a private television.

The PPP leader urged all the coalition partners to chalk out a common and unanimous strategy to cope with this menace of terrorism.

“Terrorism in any form and manifestation is intolerable and it should be addressed,” he added.

Recalling the incident of December 27 in which PPP Chairperson Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, Amin Fahim said his party has suffered a gravest loss in the ongoing wave of terrorism and stressed the need to search out root causes behind the tendencies of extremism and terrorism.●
