Firdous terms Qureshi a ‘political nomad’ for changing parties

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has said that the PPP-led coalition government is not feeling any threat and would complete its tenure.
Talking to newsmen outside the Parliament House, she said that solution of all issues lied in democracy and urged political parties to continue working for strengthening it by showing maturity. For the first time in the political history of the country, the government had united all institutions and taken all stakeholders into confidence on all important national and international issues, she said.
Regarding resignation of former Foreign Affairs minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi from the PPP membership, she said that he (Mr Qureshi) had quit the party because he was not given the portfolio of his choice. She said that Shah Mahmood Qureshi was part of the government for three years but he got annoyed over changing of his portfolio in the cabinet reshuffle.
The Information minister said that the party leadership was aware of the designs of Shah Mahmood Qureshi but it did not expel him from the party. “We give him time and avoid taking any action against him so that PPP workers come to know about his real face,” she said. “Shah Mahmood Qureshi is a political nomad who keeps changing political parties,” she said. On a statement of MNA Khawaja Asif about possible en-bloc resignation of PML-N lawmakers, she said that it would be a ‘drone attack’ on the democratic set-up and the Parliament.
