ISLAMABAD: Senior PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan on Tuesday said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was going to London to beg for Asif Zardari’s help on the issue of Panama leaks. “Nawaz Sharif is going to London on one-point mission to meet PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari and plead for his support,” he told a private TV channel. Ahsan, however, warned that PPP would be in great trouble if it decided to support Nawaz Sharif this time. Prime Minister Sharif is set to leave for London today for medical checkup, his spokesperson said on Monday. In a statement, the spokesperson said that owing to his national engagements, the prime minister had postponed his medical check-up for various times. The prime minister’s spokesman denied that the Nawaz Sharif desired to meet PPP leadership during his visit to London. “The prime minister did not express desire to meet PPP leadership during his upcoming London visit,” spokesman Mussadek Malik said in a statement. The spokesman said no such meeting was scheduled. Sharif would leave for London today (Wednesday) just for a medical checkup, Malik added.
