Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has started consultative process to convene All Parties Conference (APC) on the issues of resignations and anti-government campaign.
PML-N Secretary General Iqbal Zafar Jhagra contacted Nawabzada Mansoor Ahmed Khan, Chief of Pakistan Democratic Party who is also Vice president of ARD, Barrister Taj Muhammad Khan Langah, Chief of Pakistan Seraiki Party and others but they declined to attend it because APC would be held in London.
