"Prime Minister Jamali after consultation with President Pakistan Muslim League (QA) and parliamentary Leader Ch. Shujaat Hussein, has decided to negotiate with the opposition on LFO," a highly placed official source revealed to NNI here Tuesday.

Jamali before leaving on a three days tour to Balochistan this afternoon, has directed to three minister including Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Information Minister, Khurshid Mehmoud Kasuri, Foreign Minister and Abdul Sattar Lalika, Labour and Overseas Pakistanis Minister to invite the leaders of the opposition for the meeting on LFO on the date.

Chief of Pakistan People Party Parliamentarians, Makhdoom Amin Fahim, Acting President Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), Makhdoom Javed Hashmi, President of Mutahida Majlas-e-Aamal, Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani, Parliamentary Leader of MMA, Qazi Hussein Ahmed, Secretary General of MMA, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, Chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran Khan, chief of Awami National Party, Asfandyar Wali and other opposition leaders would be invited formally by the government.

Jamali will return back to Islamabad by Friday and evening PML (QA) and allies are expected to meet in the same evening to evolve a strategy to talk the opposition on LFO, it is learnt.

The opposition has been continuously insisting that President General Pervez Masharraf should drop his uniform and must be re-elected as President of the country through the parliament.

Due to very strong opposition to the LFO that was made part of the country's constitution in 2000 by the military government, President General Pervez Masharraf has not addressed the joint parliamentary session (National Assembly and Senate) although the general elections were held some seven months before.

According to the sources, the negotiations between the government and the opposition taking place on Saturday could be conclusive and there is possibility of developing some understanding with the opposition on the controversial LFO.
