Gulalai made allegations against Imran at Muqam and Reham's behest, claims PTI K-P MPA

Fazal Elahi says Reham 'cannot tolerate Imran’s popularity'

PESHAWAR:
A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) has claimed that MNA Ayesha Gulalai made allegations of harassment against Imran Khan and party leadership with the backing of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Amir Muqam and Imran’s ex-wife Reham Khan.

Addressing a press conference at Peshawar Press Club on Thursday, Fazal Elahi, the parliamentary secretary for environment, said Muqam, Reham and Gulalai joined hands and “made up” allegations against PTI chief Imran Khan.

Gulalai, an MNA on a reserved seat, had held a press conference on Tuesday announcing her departure from PTI, claiming that women in the party faced constant harassment from within.

It is my integrity that matters to me the most,” she told reporters. “I cannot compromise when it comes to my honour and dignity.”

She had also alleged that women working with the party received obscene text messages, and she could not put up with this any longer.

Elahi, who was elected from PK-6 Peshawar on a PTI ticket, claimed on Thursday that Gulalai had also been in touch with Pakistan Peoples Party leader Asif Ali Zardari. “I know Gulalai very well and she cannot stay for more than three months in any party,” he said.


Elahi also said that Reham “cannot tolerate Imran’s popularity”. He accused Gulalai and Reham of using “shortcuts to get popular”, adding that they would not succeed.

The MPA went on to claim that Gulalai used PTI’s name to collect millions in donations from Qatar and Dubai to supposedly build a ghost hospital in her constituency.

“There is no hospital in her area, but she did spend a large amount of money on her brother’s wedding when she returned from abroad,” he said.

Elahi demanded that the MNA immediately submit the money she collected in donations to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital.

The K-P MPA also used the opportunity to criticise Wapda officials for prolonged power outages in Peshawar and gave the authority a 10-day ultimatum to end load-shedding or his supporters would lock down all Wapda offices in the district.

Elahi is the same MPA who along with his constituents had stormed the Taj Abad grid station in May and forcibly restored supply to various feeders, prompting Pesco to register an FIR.
