LAHORE: Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker Sardar Dost Mohammad Mazari, Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood, Senator Dr Shahzad Waseem and Punjab Revenue Minister retired Col Mohammad Anwar on Sunday met Abdul Aleem Khan and congratulated him on his release from jail.

They exchanged views on the political situation of the country.

Aleem Khan, a former local government minister, thanked them and said they all were with Imran Khan to implement the manifesto of change. Acknowledging that there was no doubt that Pakistan is facing a difficult situation, he stressed that the PTI leadership and the government needed to work hard to improve the situation.

Lamenting that the present government has to deal with the baggage of the past governments, Mr Khan said the same elements were now uniting again only to oppose the vision of the prime minister who wanted to bring about changes in the fields of health, education and other sectors. He said the masses had reposed their confidence in the leadership of the PTI.

It is learnt that PM Imran Khan has called Aleem Khan to his office in Islamabad for a meeting on Monday (today).
