However, the PML-N spokesperson hasn’t confirmed the news of the meeting.
British High Commissioner meets Nawaz Sharif
British High Commissioner Adam Thomson met Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif in Raiwind on Saturday and congratulated him for winning the elections, reported Express News.
During the meeting, they discussed political and regional matters and also talked about Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain’s controversial statements.
PML-N leader and former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and Senator Ishaq Dar were also present during the meeting.
On Friday, Thomson went to meet Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH). During the meeting, Imran urged Thompson to take notice of Altaf’s speech in accordance with British laws.
Earlier this week, Thomson held a press conference saying that Altaf’s remarks on Sunday threatening PTI supporters and demanding Karachi to be separated from the rest of Pakistan should be taken seriously.
Altaf’s statement had caused uproar across the country, although the MQM chief clarified the next day that he didn’t make any demand for secession and that his statement was misinterpreted by the media.

What Policy overhaul we are talking about here? Will PML(N) agree to the fact that this war on terror is Pakistan’s war and not an American war. Will PML(n) agree that their government will continue the war against the terrorists and marauders who are using Islam as a shield for their nefarious designs. Let PML(n) comes out clearly on this issue and we then can say that they are now on board with our establishment on this. Otherwise we shall continue to see the pacification of terrorists by our main political powers i.e PTI & PML(N). By the way, the way ANP has been routed in KP in recent elections, will any political party take such a clear and bold stand against terrorism in Pakistan ever again???????? The mind boggles really at the thinking of our masses on such a dangerous issue as terrorism which is literally eating at the vitals of our state.
Much the best,excellent and august step taken by two leaders towards to resolve the Pakistan's internal security threats,problems and difficulties and towards the mutual understanding to run the government successfully......

@Babablacksheep: He was not the Corps Commander in 1999 dear. He was promoted Lt Gen in 2003. So you are requested to confirm before you post
General Kiyani must be appreciated for his neutrality and impartiality which enabled ECP to hold fair and free elections. I still don't agree with PPP government's decision to give him extension (principles are principles). But I also confess that he has played a very good role in restoring the prestige of his institution after the adventures of General Musharaf. The army and the nation should be proud him.
Until Nawaz has taken oath, Kiyani's briefing to him on confidential state affairs is inappropriate.
A person having various charges and serving chief is meeting him? He can not become PM by any law and COAS thinks him as his next boss.
New boss meeting big boss.
Unfounded speculation on the subject are harmful for the country. Request avoid in the best interest of the country. Let the things take its course.
Pakistan Paindabad
Who is the real Master........????
he went to remind him that i were the core commander in 1999,so behave nicely this time
Further Extension of Parvez Kiyani might be on the top of agenda.
If general Kiyani wishes to continue, he should refrain from air travel, being airborne might cost him his job, so please no air travel until retirement
I hope it was not decided that Musharraf would be spared from being brought to justice.
"General Kayani meets Nawaz Sharif in Lahore" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And what was decided re Musharraf?:)
It is good sign that military and political forces run together for the country. I hope our country will get more achievement in coming Government.
