DUBAI: Former president of Pakistan and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Asif Ali Zardari is expected to arrive in Dubai from London after getting his ticket cancelled thrice during the last few days, sources told Geo News Friday.

The sources said the PPP leader would arrive in Dubai on Saturday. The news of his departure from London comes at a time when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is in UK capital for medical check up.

ON May 24, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman met with Asif Ali Zardari and advised him to meet Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. 

JUI-F chief urged Zardari to hammer out a consensus with the government on all controversial issues. Fazlur Rehman stated that Panama leaks should be investigated but specific persons should not be targeted. 

During the meeting, which was held at the PPP leader's Park Lane residence, Zardari reassured the JUI-F chief that he would not fall for any conspiracy against democracy. Zardari reportedly also said that he would not become a victim of those conspirators who looked for a shortcut to come into power. 

However, even after Maulana Fazlur Rehman's insistence, no final decision was reached regarding a meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari.
