Pakistan: No meetings with military leadership, Nawaz Sharif warns party members
Pakistan's former Prime Minister and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has warned party members from holding private meetings with military leadership. The move came a day after Pakistan’s main opposition party found itself in an embarrassing position following army spokesperson Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar’s confirmation that senior PML-N leader Mohammad Zubair had held two meetings with army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa to discuss the future of Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz. Interestingly, a conference of all mainstream opposition parties on Sunday had accused the military establishment of interfering in Pakistan’s politics and elections.
