Nisar should be ousted from party: Pervaiz Rashid

Author: inp

ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Monday criticized former information minister Pervaiz Rashid, saying a politician who could not contest for a councillor’s election was acting as if he was the ‘chief minister of the party’.

The criticism came as a reaction to Rashid’s stance over an issue during an interview. Senator Rasheed said the former interior minister had passed “misleading statements about the party during testing times”. The party should make a decision unanimously regarding Nisar, said Rasheed, adding that if his vote was required then he would suggest it. “Someone wanted my ouster and Nisar wanted to win his approval,” said Rasheed. Nisar said that he did not deem it necessary to respond to ridiculous statements of any lawmaker. Nisar said former premier Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi should order the release of Dawn Leaks report.
