Responding to a question about Nawaz Sharif, Zardari said Bilawal Bhutto had already inquired after the health of Mian sahib. He said confrontation and disagreement were all ‘weather-specific’ happenings.

Speaking on the occasion, Maulana Fazl said he also met Nawaz Sharif and discussed political and other issues. “However, the meeting with Asif Ali Zardari was a luncheon gathering and wasn’t beyond that,” he added.

He underlined that: ‘we are not in a position to give any surprise.’
