Sanaullah dismisses rumours of Tareen, Nawaz meeting in London

Imran should not have visited Russia when war was looming, says PML-N leader

LAHORE:

PML-N Punjab president Rana Sanaullah on Saturday dismissed rumours that estranged PTI leader Jahangir Tareen is travelling to London to hold a meeting with party supremo Nawaz Sharif.

“As per my information, Tareen went for her medical treatment and no meeting is scheduled with Mian Nawaz Sharif," Sanaullah said.

The statement was made by the former provincial law minister as he spoke to the media at the Lahore High Court (LHC). When pushed further on the topic, the PML-N leader reiterated that Tareen has gone to London for medical treatment and he does not see a meeting happening between the two leaders. 

"Several PTI’s lawmakers are willing to join PML-N, and the exact number will be shared when the time comes," said Sanaullah. 

When asked about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s visit to Russia, Sanaullah said the 'inefficient lot' should not have visited the country when war was looming. 

He added that Russia also should not have attacked Ukraine when Pakistan's premier was on an official visit to the country and maintained that Imran's presence during the starting hours of the attack will have a 'negative impact'.

Referring to the vote of no confidence, he expressed hope that PML-N would succeed and said the PDM and other political parties are united to get the vote passed.
