| Saudi Intelligence chief Prince Muqrin Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud met Maulana Fazlur Rehman in Jeddah after the latter’s meeting with former premier Nawaz Sharif and requested him to persuade Nawaz to reconcile with President Musharraf, claims Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haidri, a close aide of Fazl. Haidri, who accompanied Fazl during his visit to Saudi Arabia, quoted Nawaz as telling Fazl that Saudi King Abdullah had conveyed to him ‘serious unease’ over the widespread anti-Saudi sentiments among Pakistanis. He further said that Nawaz refused to reconcile with Musharraf and insisted that he be allowed to return home unconditionally. |
