Lahore, May 15: Pakistan's Prime Minister-designate Nawaz Sharif called on his injured rival, Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan in hospital on Tuesday to inquire about his health and offered to play a "friendly match" with him once he has fully recovered.
Sharif met Imran alone for a short time in the hospital, presented him a bouquet and prayed for his early recovery.
Later, Nawaz Sharif said both he and Imran have reconciled their differences and intend to work together to rid Pakistan of its problems.
Nawaz said now he has no grievances against Imran.
He said that all national issues could only be resolved through negotiations after a mutual understanding and unity at all levels.
Sharif said he was grateful to God that Imran had remained safe in the accident during his election rally.
"I have told Imran that I do not want anything for myself and have nothing personal against him, as according to a Hadith, grievances between two Muslims should be ended within three days, so Imran has also ended his grievances with me."
He remarked that nothing would be better than him and Imran uniting and added that he respects the mandate of Imran's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Sharif promised Pakistan's "full support" to the United States as it withdraws combat troops from Afghanistan next year.
