ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said on Saturday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has some ongoing disagreements which have given birth to factions within the party.

Asif clarified that such factions are the beauty of the democratic process, and it is not a new thing either.

However, according to media reports, these factions could be a prelude to bigger conflicts in the party, in an allusion to an ongoing conflict between former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar and former Info Minister Pervaiz Rashid.

It is pertinent to mention here that Ch Nisar’s spokesperson, in reply to Rashid’s criticism, urged the government to make the Dawn Leaks inquiry report public if he [Rashid] is as innocent as he claims to be.

Rashid had earlier said that decisions came against their party despite party’s own interior ministry.
