ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday held a telephonic conversation with disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
During the conversation, Sharif paid his condolences on the recent demise of Khan’s nephew in an accident. The PM prayed for the forgiveness of the deceased nephew Captain Nauman.
Nisar, a long-time PML-N stalwart with his association with deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif spanning well over 35 years, parted ways with the opposition party in 2019 — a decision he said he took according to his conscience.
He also contested the 2018 general elections as an independent candidate from four national and provincial assemblies’ seats in his hometown of Rawalpindi.
