Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on Saturday blamed the establishment’s “stooges” for PML-N leader Javed Hashm’s resignation and joining the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf. Sanaullah accused former Senator Tariq Chaudhry of acting on behalf of the establishment. Tariq had been staying at Hashmi’s residence in Multan for a few days and convinced him to quit the PML-N. He said Hashmi was unhappy after the party leadership did not make him parliamentary leader in the National Assembly. PML-N leader Senator Pervez Rashid said he was saddened by Hashmi’s decision and it broke many hearts.
Opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said his party was not afraid of anyone’s departure and was ready for snap polls. He claimed that an agency was behind pushing the people towards the PTI.
Sources said fifteen more MNAs and around 25 MPAs from the PML-N were also ready to join the PTI during the next two weeks.
