Shehbaz chairs party meeting in Islamabad, meets top political leaders
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif arrived in the federal capital on Monday for several important meetings.

The PML-N president was accompanied by party leaders and former federal ministers Saad Rafique and Khawaja Asif.

Sources said Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman called on Shehbaz at the ministers' enclave of the capital where they discussed several political issues.

Shehbaz has reportedly informed Rehman about his party's decision of not boycotting Parliament.

Similarly, the PML-N president also held a meeting with a delegation of the Awami National Party.

Shehbaz, after chairing a high-level party huddle, also decided that the "sham elections" will be challenged and every forum while the party is also striving to bring forth a consensus candidate for opposition leader in the National Assembly.

According to sources, Shehbaz is also expected to meet his brother and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif who was shifted from Adiala prison to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences late Sunday.

Punjab Home Minister Shaukat Javed said that Shehbaz is yet to be given permission to meet Nawaz at the hospital, which has been declared a sub-jail as the former premier has been convicted for corruption in the Avenfield case.

With regards to ongoing negotiations regarding the forming of government after the July 25 election, in which the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf emerged victorious, Shehbaz is expected to meet Pakistan Peoples Party leaders in the afternoon.

The new toll announced by the national disaster agency was almost double the previous figure. Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla said the final number of dead could be in the "thousands." "It feels very tense," said 35-year-old mother Risa Kusuma, comforting her feverish baby boy at an evacuation centre in the gutted coastal city of Palu. "Every minute an ambulance brings in bodies. Clean water is scarce. The minimarkets are looted everywhere." Indonesia’s Metro TV on Sunday broadcast footage from a coastal community in Donggala, close to the epicentre of the quake, where some waterfront homes appeared crushed but a resident said most people fled to higher ground after the quake struck.

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday asserted that all state institutions stand by Prime Minister Imran Khan and are working together to lead the country toward development. While talking to journalists, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that before Khan came to power, every politician thought that “corruption was their right”. However, PM Khan had ended tolerance for corruption after he assumed office, Chaudhry claimed. When people do not have money to buy medicines then how can a prime minister live lavishly?” said Fawad Chaudhry. “They [the previous government] had ordered cars worth Rs980 million for one SAARC conference,” Chaudhry said, adding that the maintenance expenditure of the cars amounted to Rs350m.
