Nawaz is more dangerous than Imran, says Gulalai

ISLAMABAD – Disgruntled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Ayesha Gulalai accused the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of bribing her with the candidacy of Senate on the condition of maligning the army.

According to her, the ruling party offered her a ticket for contesting the Senate elections and asked her to bash the military in return, adding that the army is the only institution that is working well for the country.

“PML-N provoked me to speak against the army. I rejected the offer to accept Senate the ticket,” she said while talking to media outside the parliament.

“Nawaz is more dangerous than Imran,” she added.

Downplaying the PML-N victory in the NA-154 by-poll in Lodhran, she said the ruling party had won the elections because the people of the area “had no options”.

Turning her guns on her former party, Gulalai said the PTI had faced defeat in the NA-154 by-elections due to its “politics of corruption”.

Responding to Gulalai’s allegations, PML-N Information Secretary Mushahidullah Khan in a statement said she had no significant role in the country’s political arena that would merit her being offered a Senate elections ticket.

“Gulalai should first raise herself to a level in politics that would merit the PML-N offering her a ticket,” he said.

Mushahidullah brushed off Gulalai’s accusations, saying that the PML-N has a queue of prominent people waiting to be awarded tickets for the elections.
