LAHORE: Former information minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry has termed Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s recent statement ‘surprising’, noting that PML-Q’s stance was different from his party.
‘Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leadership has not faced any hardships,’ Fawad said during an interview with ARY News, adding that his party’s stance was different from PML-Q’s one.
Fawad Chaudhry, however, asserted that the PML-Q will always support Imran Khan’s choice. He added, “Moonis Ealhi has guaranteed the PTI Chairman of full support. Pervaiz Elahi has held a post comparable to this before.”
According to Fawad, Punjab now belongs to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and the Q-League benefits from sticking with him.
He emphasized that there would be no need to disband the assembly if the government was willing to hold discussions on the general election framework.
Earlier in the day, Punjab CM Pervaiz Elahi expressed displeasure over the former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for his continuous criticism of ex-army chief retired General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
Punjab CM Elahi said that he had urged the PTI chief to avoid criticism of Gen (r) Bajwa during his yesterday’s Liberty Chowk rally speech. “Imran Khan criticized Gen Bajwa in his Lahore speech during my presence which is an injustice to me,” he said.
