The two leaders also discussed the debate on 18th Constitutional Amendment Bill 2010 in the Upper House of the parliament and political situation in the country.
The President while referring to the laying of 18th constitutional amendment Bill in the Senate said the credit goes to all political parties for showing maturity and rising above partisan politics for the larger national interest. He said the Party believed that the strength of federation was in the supremacy of the parliament and also strength of the federating units.
