Qureshi admits Imran had met Qadri in London

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) heavyweight Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday disclosed that his party chief Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief had a meeting in London.

In an interview with a TV channel here, the PTI vice-president Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri had not reached any agreement in writing during the meeting but they did exchange views on political situation in the country.

He further said that party spokesperson Shireen Mazari had no knowledge of the meeting between the chiefs of two parties, adding that it is a prerogative of a leader to choose when to make any information public.

Mr. Qureshi added that it is a routine thing for political leaders to have meetings with one another and there is nothing to be shocked about.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s disclosure does answer some questions being raised in the media in connection with the timing and strategy being followed by the PTI and PAT for their protest demonstrations continuing in Islamabad for more than a month.
