ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Secretary General Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had a meeting with the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif in London on Thursday where he arrived in the wee hours of the day.

Abbasi briefed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif about the political developments taking place back in the country and sought his guidance regarding upcoming issues. He will be returning from London on Monday (January 11) after having another detailed meeting with Nawaz Sharif. He earlier visited his ailing sister and brother-in-law in the US. Abbasi would discuss future political strategy of the PDM with Nawaz Sharif tomorrow (Saturday).

Zahid Gishkori adds: Abbasi and Nawaz discussed in brief the party’s political matters, PDM’s movement outcomes, Senate’s upcoming elections and “special message” given by PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif. "Abbasi would give his candid opinion on how he sees things unraveling--like should they and the PDM continue down this path of confrontation," a family source said. Message from party's President Mian Shahbaz Sharif to his elder brother also carries a louder message and one may see a shift in PML-N's stance.
