During this meeting, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and other opposition leaders were also present.

He held the PTI government responsible for the current crises in the country. Moulana stated that a weak economy is a threat for the country's survival and sovereignty. 

He also urged the government to reduce the prices of essential goods and give relief to the people of the country.

Fazal while discussing foreign policy held PTI government responsible for the abrogation of the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). He blamed the government for failing to formulate Afghan policy.

On behalf of all opposition parties, JUI Cheif demanded of the government to guarantee the immediate release of all political prisoners and journalists, who he said were detained on fake charges.

The Parliament was termed as “rubber stamp” by all opposition parties and announced in the resolution that they will not cooperate with the government in any legislation in the future.

The resolution adopted by the opposition parties also alleged that incompetent rulers have endangered the multi-billion dollar CPEC initiative and stalled the momentum of its projects.

The opposition has also shown their concerns over the rising incident of terrorism, accusing the government of not implementing the National Action Plan (NAP), which was formulated following the deadly APS attack in 2014.

The joint opposition statement also called upon the government to guarantee free and fair elections in Gilgit-Baltistan.
