LONDON: Sindh's former interior minister Zulfiqar Mirza on Wednesday contacted the officials of Scotland Yard and said he would be holding a meeting with the officials on Monday.

Chief pattern of Friends of Lyari, Habib Jan had confirmed the development to the DawnNews and said that Mirza would address House of Lords today at 11pm, Pakistan time.

The provincial information minister Sharjeel Memon and Imdad Patafi, an MPA, would accompany Mirza during the address.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party's top leadership had shown its anger over the presence of Memon and Patafi in London with Mirza.

Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah had taken strict notice of the incident and it was decided that show-cause notices will be issued to the two PPP lawmakers.

After the serious concerns shown by the leadership, Memon had decided to return to Pakistan and said he would be coming back through the first available flight.
