According to the sources, JUI continued to boycott the meeting regardless of the appeal from President Asif Ali Zardari.

Earlier, the committee could not accomplish the task due to boycott of the committee proceedings by Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) to protest increase in the prices of petroleum products and CNG.

But later, on the request of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif ended the boycott and the party joined the committee proceedings.
