The overall political, social, and economic condition of the country came under discussion during the meeting. Views were also exchanged on the brewing crisis in Balochistan, the law and order situation prevailing in the country and strategies for the upcoming general elections.
Talking to the media persons Nasreen Jalil said that there has always been a link of mutual co-operation between MQM leader Altaf Hussain and Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain.

He said that the situation in Balochistan could improve even today if the recommendations of the report were implemented.
