Former federal minister and disgruntled leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday said that he would not take oath as a member of the Punjab Assembly, claiming that he had been cheated on the National Assembly seat.
Addressing a crowd in his constituency, the veteran politician said that former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi tried to convince him but he had refused to take oath.
Nisar refused to comment over reports claiming that he is being considered by power circles for the next Punjab chief minister.
“Questions should be asked from those who have spread the news,” he said. “I do politics to help people not to get any post. My politics is not for sale.”
Nisar predicted massive inflation in the coming months and warned that it would be unbearable for the masses.
“PM Imran took record loans in the previous months. He did the same what he used to criticise before,” Nisar said.
The senior politician said that the current government will not risk holding local bodies poll as they have attempted to scrap administrative units and have completely abandoned District Council office.
“If PTI claims itself to be a popular political party it should hold local bodies poll,” he said.
