Imran, Nisar met at Islamabad eatery: reports
Khan and the former minister met at Aylanto Caf in F-7 of Islamabad, claims journalist
(Web Desk) – Journalist with The New York Times has claimed on Tuesday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan met with former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan at an Islamabad eatery.
Pakistan correspondent for The New York Times, Salman Masoon stated that Khan and the former minister met at Aylanto Café in F-7 of Islamabad.
However, no explanation has been offered by either of the two leaders whose meeting would be a national news given the current political scenario following Nawaz Sharif’s dismissal under Article 62 and Article 63 on July 28.
The journalist stated on the social media platform: “Imran Khan goes to cafes and restaurants often, mostly Kohsar market. Ch Nisar not known for dining out much. Meeting isn t a coincidence”.
A day before the top court ordered disqualification of the former premier, Chaudhry Nisar addressed a press conference and asserted that he would relinquish the ministry irrespective of verdict of the court in Panama Papers case.
Nawaz Sharif was disqualified after PTI, Awami Muslim League (AML) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) took to the apex court last year.
After around four months of hearings, the top court reserved its verdict and delivered it on April 20.
Supreme Court (SC) ordered formation of a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to probe assets of the first family of Pakistan and file a report within 60 days.
The subsequent report stated that the family could not satisfy the six-member probe team over opposition s accusations of money laundering and graft, paving way for the top court to order election commission to disqualify Nawaz Sharif.
