No meeting on the cards with Shehbaz Sharif in London: Pervaiz Elahi

LONDON: Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on Saturday rubbished reports of a possible meeting between him and Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz president and Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Shebaz Sharif.

Speaking to the media after arriving in London on a 10-day visit, Elahi said, “A meeting with Shehbaz Sharif is out of the question.”

Shehbaz is currently in London where he is said to be receiving medical treatment.

“The entire country is suffering because of what the Sharif brothers have done to the country,” he said.

Elahi further said, "Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar is doing well and he has everyone’s support. Buzdar is a strong chief minister. All rumours regarding him will die down.”
