KARACHI: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani would meet President Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday after a gap of almost two weeks to inquire after his health and discuss challenges facing the PPP-led government and the country, DawnNews reported.

Gilani would reach the port city today. The two leaders are likely to discuss the memogate scandal and its hearing in the Supreme Court.

The opposition’s current posture and the country’s overall political situation are also expected to be among the subjects of discussion during the meeting.

Moreover, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain also telephoned President Zardari and inquired after his health.
