PAT, allies desert PTI at a crucial time

According to details, a meeting of Pakistan Awami Tehreek, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PMLQ), Majlis Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) was held here on Saturday, during which the allied parties decided not participate in tomorrow’s PTI rally in the federal cabinet.

Talking to media after the meeting, PAT leader, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur agreed with PTI’s stance, however he said that his party could not participate in the PTI rally, due to lack of consultation.

He told that Dr Tahirul Qadri’s ailment and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas’ foreign tour are also the reasons that an effective consultation could not be held in this regard.

Gandapur said that Nawaz Sharif rose to power by means of elections which were massively rigged and so his party does not consider him as the Prime Minister of the state.

He slammed the Information Minister, saying that Pervez Rasheed loses control when it comes to speaking and demanded him to elaborate if Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) is not a part of Pakistan then where does it lie.

Moreover, the PAT leader demanded PM Nawaz Sharif to take notice of the statement of his cabinet member.
