Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar visited Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's chamber at Parliament House. Federal Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar accompanied him during the meeting.

The meeting came amid ongoing consultations between coalition partners over budget-related matters and other political issues. However, no official statement was issued regarding the agenda or outcome of the discussion.

The developments followed speculation about the PPP's participation in the budget proceedings, which the party leadership has now categorically dismissed.

PPP remains a key coalition partner in the federal government, and its participation in parliamentary proceedings is considered important for the passage of budget-related legislation and other government business in the National Assembly.
