The national conference plans to debate the report of Devolution Committee, which key recommendation is on derivation. In the report, the southern delegates are seeking 50 per cent derivation while the core north is insisting on the status quo, which is 13 per cent.

Today’s meeting is coming against the feelers that delegates from the core north have planned to discredit some of the resolutions of the national conference by blackmailing their northern counterparts and whip up sentiments that the south dominates the conference.
