He said “we should have been told about the criteria to become minister, adding that he paid no value to any ministry.

It is pertinent to mention that Khurram Leghari had expressed reservations about party policies in the past as well, and when a group was formed against former Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar, he was also part of it.

However, MPA Sardar Abdul Hai Dasti took to Twitter and strongly rejected any such development
