LAHORE: Provincial Human Rights and Minority Affairs Minister Khalil Tahir Sindhu has denied and strongly condemned reports published in several newspapers and online on social media that he was going to quit Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
He said that he was an ideological worker of PML-N and strongly believed in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah Khan. He said that he was part of PML-N and would always remain so.
He called people’s allegations of his wanting to leave the party a ‘baseless propaganda’.
He further alleged that those who were opposed and spread allegations against him were involved in crimes such as human trafficking and burning of churches, adding that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was soon going to start an investigation against them.
He said that his opponents felt threatened because of his status as a Christian and a worker of PML-N.
He further said that the gathering held in the Islamabad High Commission a few days ago in London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s honour was attended by members of several parties but several people still named it a political function, which was condemnable.
