Undercover: Shah Mehmood dubs Hashmi PML-N agent
PTI vice chairperson says Hashmi will join ruling party after contesting as independent candidate in upcoming by-polls
MULTAN:
In a desperate move, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi called Javed Hashmi an undercover agent of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
The PTI leader was addressing a gathering of people on his visit to Multan on Wednesday, the first by any prominent PTI leader to the flood-hit areas in south Punjab.
“Hashmi has achieved a complete understanding with PML-N and will join the ruling party after contesting as an independent candidate in the upcoming by-polls,” Qureshi asserted.
He said PTI has advised its workers to donate one thousand rupees each for the flood victims. “We expect to collect Rs1 billion for our brothers and sisters who have suffered devastations due to failed policies of the government.”
He said that if PTI has not sent any show cause notice to Hashmi, then why he is contesting as an independent candidate. “PML-N will either file no candidate against Hashmi or the weakest one and the same strategy will be adopted by Pakistan People Party,” he added The PTI leader lashed out at government policies, saying “they are not for a healthy economy in the country but for a healthy dynasty.”
Commenting on the expulsion of PML-N lawmaker and PPP Senator from the airplane by passengers, Qureshi said that “It proves that change has arrived and people have stood up against status quo in the country”.
Talking about the recently filed cases against him, he said there were no cases against him during his whole political career but in last one month the government has lodged unlimited FIRs for no reason.
“I am very much hopeful that high court will release all our workers tomorrow because they are innocent and there is no reason to arrest them,” he said. PTI has created an environment of hard work and real time politics without corruption; this will change the future of our people and the country,” Qureshi added.
He went on to say that Khyber-Pakhtunkhuwa government has donated Rs100 million for the flood victims and it was the first provincial government to announce aid for the flood victims in Punjab.
