The participants are reviewing strategy and arrangements for protest outside the ECP headquarters that will be held on January 19 in Islamabad.
Talking to media before the meeting, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz told that she is attending the session on special invitation.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto is not the member of steering committee that’s why he is not participating in the meeting, she told.
