KARACHI: ISI asked Saudi Arabia not to fund Nawaz Sharif for his election campaign, a secret cable of 2008 revealed.
According to WikiLeaks, National Security Adviser Tariq Aziz told Asif Zardari that after being elected as a prime minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi could challenge his authority, as Zardari was considering Qureshi as a PPP candidate for prime minister.
Aziz told US Ambassador Anne Patterson on February 15 that Saudi Arabia has provided heavy funds to Nawaz Sharif for his election campaign in order to defeat Pakistan Peoples' Party.
In the same meeting, he also told Patterson that ISI requested Saudi Ambassador to stop funding Nawaz Sharif. He also told the Saudi Ambassador that by doing so, the pact between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will be violated in case Sharif returns to Pakistan.
ISI urged SA not to fund Nawaz: WikiLeaks
I thought SA just funded the madressas, but it funds Political parties too, amazing.
Reminds me when Mustafa Kamal said, Nawaz Sharif is Mullah without beard
