"The meeting was held at the behest of Sardar Qayyum sahib who told Vajpayeeji that he is a big fan of the former prime minister," Jaswant Singh told newsmen after the meeting.Sardar Qayyum said that he had made a courtesy call on Vajpayee because he had not met the former prime minister when he visited Lahore [Images] in 1999. He said that he was happy with the meeting and also with the outcome of the intra-Kashmir deliberations during his stay in New Delhi.
He is likely to call on Dr Manmohan Singh [Images] and the congress president Mrs Sonia Gandhi [Images] in the next few days and meet other prominent leaders from opposition as well.
