In a surprise occurrence, political arch-rivals PML-N's Abid Sher Ali, PTI's Aleem Khan and PPP's Manzoor Wattoo travelled together in PIA's Islamabad-Karachi flight on Tuesday.
The flight, however, did not seem to go well as the PML-N firebrand leader later berated his company by referring to their "changing of loyalties", according to Express News.
"It is for the first time I have travelled with 'relo kattay'," the state minister said using a 'derogatory' slang to describe 'turncoats' when asked by journalists about his experience of the business-class flight.
Khan left PML-Q to join PTI in 2012, whereas Wattoo, a longtime PML stalwart, joined PPP in 2008.
On the contrary, Wattoo said, "He must not have said that about me, but about someone else," when asked about Ali's remarks.

During the flight, Khan and Wattoo could be seen smiling while Ali did not meet eyes with the camera except for once.
The PTI leader reportedly kept explaining to Wattoo why power outages had increased in the province. While Wattoo disembarked to Sukkur to join the event to mark ZA Bhutto's death anniversary in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, the other two continued travelling to Karachi.
