Aitzaz Ahsan turns down rumours of leaving PPP

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader Barrister Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan on Wednesday rebutted the rumours of leaving the party, ARY News reported.

Ahsan was referring to tweets and various statements that are making rounds on the various platforms of the social media as of him, following the Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s meeting with Nawaz Sharif in jail.

“Not leaving the party, PPP is like a home to me”, he continued.

Aitzaz said he is only operating a single twitter account under the name of The Real Aitzaz Ahsan and the posts from other accounts made under his name should be considered as fake.

Commenting on the Bilawal-Nawaz meeting, the PPP leader maintained he never had said that Bilawal should have not met the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo.

He said it was PPP gesture to meet him in the jail, while Nawaz Sharif had subjected former president Asif Ali Zardari to severe torture in jail, while being in power.
