Film actress Meera,who has appeared in two Indian movies,is expected to contest against cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan during Pakistan’s upcoming general election on May 11.
Meera’s mother Shafqat Zohra told reporters today that her daughter may contest against Khan,the head of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf party,from a parliamentary seat in Lahore that includes the posh areas of Gulberg,Model Town,Garden Town and Faisal Town.
Meera has applied for a PML-N ticket for National Assembly seat 126. If the leadership obliges her,then there will be an interesting contest between the two celebrities, Zohra said.
Earlier,Meera had shown interest in acquiring a PML-N ticket for a seat reserved for women.
There has been pressure on Khan from workers of his party to contest against PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif.
Sharif is expected to contest from a seat in his hometown and Khan apparently decided not to take any chances in the PML-N leader’s stronghold.
Imran Khan has a following in National Assembly seat 126 and therefore he has decided to contest from there, a Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf leader said.
