WASHINGTON: US Vice President Kamala Harris has been briefed about the current political situation in Pakistan, as the PTI expands its campaign to win over supporters in US power circles.

Dr Asif Mahmood, a Democratic candidate for Congress who took a delegation of California legislators to Pakistan and arranged their meeting with ex-PM Imran Khan as well, fits in both circles.

In a tweet posted on Saturday, Dr Mahmood confirmed meeting the US vice president in California and discussing the situation with her.

While he did not disclose details of the conversation, PTI officials said it “revolved around the political crisis in Pakistan.”
