ISLAMABAD – Former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had a “closed doors” meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif at Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan’s residence on Tuesday. Online sources said Qureshi went to offer condolences over the death of Nisar’s mother, knowing that Shahbaz would be there. The sources insisted it was not a coincidence.
“The interaction between Qureshi and PML-N leaders was somewhat planned and was intended to give out a message to those who had launched a campaign against Qureshi,” they added. Qureshi confirmed his meeting with Shahbaz but brushed aside impression that it was a political meeting.
