Islamabad : A Pakistani presidential spokesman Monday strongly rejected reports of any meeting or requests for a meeting made to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his brother Shahbaz Sharif during President Pervez Musharraf's visit to the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Spokesman Rashid Qureshi strongly rejected that Nawaz Sharif, or his brother Shahbaz Sharif who is the president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, had been approached for any meeting, understanding or deal.
Nawaz Sharif appeared on Pakistani TV channels Monday and claimed that Musharraf tried to contact him during a visit to UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Musharraf left Pakistan on July 27 for a two-day visit to UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Pakistani TV channels reports said that Musharraf met the exiled former premier Benazir Bhutto, the leader of the Pakistan People's Party, for talks on a possible power-sharing pact.
However, Qureshi said that the reports were completely baseless.
Nawaz Sharif was twice elected as prime minister. His first term was from Nov 1, 1990 to July 18, 1993 and his second term was from Feb 17, 1997 to Oct 12, 1999. Currently Nawaz Sharif and his brother live in exile in London.
