KARACHI: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif remarked that he failed to establish contact between Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari.
Asif also shared that he had contacted Farooq Naek, who is the lawyer of PPP, to take up the Iqama (work permit) case against him. “He is my wife’s elder brother and my maternal cousin,” he shared.
However, Naek refused to help me and said that Zardari has stopped him from taking up the case.
“We have to work towards improving the political situation,” said the foreign minister, adding that “politicians shouldn’t make a drama of themselves.”In this regard, I tried to contact Zardari many times, even left messages for him with his ADC, claimed Asif.
“But, Zardari didn’t answer any of my calls,” he added.
When asked if there is a chance of PML-N and PPP working together, the minister said that he can not say anything for sure.
