The Sindh Home Minister Suhail Anwar Siyal held a supposedly ‘secret meeting’ with disgraced former PPP minister Dr Asim Hussain at Jinnah Hospital Karachi and conveyed a special message of former president Asif Ali Zardari.
Reliable sources said the meeting spanned over two and a half hours and took place at the special ward at JPMC on the night between Saturday and Sunday.
The minister told Dr Asim that Zardari had asked him to stay calm and directed him to stay in constant touch with senior Pakistan Peoples’ Party leaders.
All legal matters pertaining to his release will be resolved soon.
Zardari and Dr Asim are childhood friends. In an exclusive interview with populare TV news channel Geo News Zardari had said, “I called him ‘hare’. I was the one who motivated him to leave Nazimabad and shift to Defence. His arrest is only a tactic to pressurize the PPP.”
Dr Asim is being tried for assisting terrorists and corruption.
