LAHORE – Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has parted ways with his long-term associate Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Geo News reported on Tuesday citing sources.
Nawaz decided to not extend an invitation to Chaudhry Nisar, who has been associated with the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) for over three decades, to the Central Working Committee (CWC) session held earlier today (Tuesday).
The reported decision comes after Nisar openly opposed Nawaz’s stance on the party’s political strategy following the Supreme Court’s July 28 verdict that ousted the former from holding public office.
According to sources, Nawaz was not ready to invite Nisar despite the insistence of Shehbaz Sharif, Khawaja Saad Rafique, and Ayaz Sadiq.
Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, speaking during Geo News’ talk show ‘Capital Talk’ said that Nisar was often missing from PML-N meetings.
However, in a post made on social media later in the day, Maryam Nawaz denied the reports being attributed to Nawaz and said the statement is “absolutely false”.
