ISLAMABAD – Former information minister Pervaiz Rasheed began a war of words with former interior minister and fellow Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Nisar on Monday and accused the latter of supporting elements that wanted him ousted in Dawn Leaks case.
Earlier in an interview with Geo News programme Jirga, Rasheed denied that he was used as a scapegoat, in response to a question about his ouster from office.
Rasheed urged PML-N to decide Nisar’s fate as soon as possible, adding that his vote is in favour of the former interior minister’s ousting from the party.
Nisar reacts to Pervaiz Rasheed’s statements:
Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar said that he doesn’t seem it fit to respond to a man who is ‘barely in the party’.
“A person who hasn’t contested councillor’s election thinks he ranks highly in the party,” said Nisar.
Nisar while lambasting Rasheed said the senator has spent most part of his life in ’another party’.
“If the Dawn leaks report is made public then the deeds of the person passing statements will be in front of everyone,” said the former interior minister.
