Opposition leaders were also present there.’ He mentioned one thing that in some cases, opposition leaders may not have received some support from the government… which was given by the government before Eid, many of them received it, many did not… I immediately instructed both the local government, rural development minister and state minister as soon as I left the meeting that if any opposition MP has not received it, then immediate action must be taken.’
