He said the meeting discussed the current political situation, economic crisis, cases against the PPP top leaders and the issue of military courts. “We decided not to give nod to military courts,” he added. Speaking on the occasion, Babar said: “We have serious reservations about extending tenure of the military courts. Now, our stance is clear and we oppose the military courts,” the party leader quoted Asif Ali Zardari as saying. Military courts were set up in January 2015 through a constitutional amendment with a sunset set clause for two years.
