| [DAWN] Former president of Pakistan and Co-Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Asif Ali Zardari Tuesday telephoned Amir Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Sirajul Haq and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to discuss the current political situation of the country. According to a spokesman of Jamaat-i-Islami, both leaders expressed dismay over the current political crisis developing in the wake of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's (PTI)-proposed 'Azadi march' on Islamabad. They stated that a clash between the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and PTI seemed likely, which may cause a negative impact on the democratic process. Meanwhile, a spokesperson of PTI said that during the 10-minute long telephonic conversation, Zardari and Imran Khan discussed the August 14 march and overall political situation. In a statement issued on Tuesday night, the spokesperson said that the PTI chief thanked the former president for supporting his party's demand of recounting votes in four key constituencies that the latter says were won fraudulently by the PML-N in the 2013 general elections. |
