 Sidhu had  expressed his willingnewss to travel to Pakistan to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the former cricket hero. 

According to reports, PTI's Shireen Mazari and Shafqat Mahmood also met Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua and sought her suggestion about inviting SAARC leaders to Khan's inauguration.

The PTI leaders wanted to know which foreign dignitaries would be willing to attend the ceremony before finalizing any name to avoid an embarrassing situation.

But later in the day, Dr. Shireen Mazari in a tweet said the decision taken was to have a simple oath-taking with no external invitees.
