| 2015-06-19 |
| [DAWN] The adage, "Politics is the art of the possible", proved true on Wednesday when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... refused to meet former president and PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. Sources told Dawn that after his Tuesday evening's hard-hitting speech against the military establishment, Mr Zardari conveyed his desire to the prime minister for a meeting. According to a source in PML-N, the prime minister initially agreed to meet the former president, but later changed his mind on the advice of members of his cabinet. Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed told media that "time is not right for such an interaction. The cabinet colleagues suggested to the prime minister to delay the meeting for the time being". |
