No clash between institutions: Shahbaz
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif said that some media reports about clash between institutions were baseless and untrue.
He was talking to journalists before leaving for a three-day personal visit to London.
He said that the nation and the armed forces are lucky for having a pro-democracy and professional leader of the calibre of Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervaiz Kayani, and he thought that in his presence, the prospect of involvement of any agency in such a conspiracy was impossible.
In reply to a question regarding the MQM convention in Punjab, the Chief Minister said that Pakistan is for all and everyone is allowed to organize political activities in the country, which is the beauty of democracy.
He said that though he would be on a personal tour, he would look into projects of power generation from coal in the UK as Britain had gained expertise in generating power from coal.
In reply to a question, the chief minister said a meeting with MQM leader Altaf Hussain is not part of his schedule.
