ISLAMABAD: Disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan called on PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif at Punjab House on Monday.

According to sources, Nisar first inquired into the health of Nawaz’s wife, Kulsoom, who is undergoing treatment for lymphoma in London.

Sources said Law Minister Zahid Hamid, Senators Pervaiz Rashid and Asif Kirmani and the prime minister’s aviation adviser, Mehtab Khan Abbasi, were in a meeting with Nawaz when Nisar reached the premises.

Later, a one-on-one meeting began between the two.

Sources said Nisar reposed his full confidence in Nawaz’s leadership, but aired his grievances as well.

Nawaz returned to the country early this morning after spending over three weeks in London.

He is set to appear before an accountability court tomorrow which is hearing three corruption cases against him and his family.

Last week, Nisar criticised fellow party leader and Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, over his ‘in-house cleanup’ statement.

He also lambasted the government over its failure to condemn a US drone strike in Kurram Agency this month.
