During his conversation with Asif Ali Zardari, Shehbaz Shairif discussed the political situation after the no-confidence vote episode. The development erupted a day after Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi had signed a summary for dissolution of Punjab Assembly a day after he obtained the vote of confidence from the Punjab Assembly amid ruckus and opposition’s boycott following weeks of political turbulence in the province.
