Mr Hussain said the meeting, at Al Ismail Ma’tam, Sitra, was based on the public’s demand for a unified political movement.
“The meeting aims to come up with an understanding once again between all and ensure that political demands are unified, despite a difference in approach,” he said.
“These societies have been called to discuss ways of enhancing our national debate, which allows us to better address the country’s problems.”
