Personal conversation: Nisar called PTI protest ‘morally justified’, says Khattak

Claims interior minister said PM Nawaz Sharif’s agenda is to do personal business rather than run the country

LAHORE:

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak has claimed that in a personal conversation Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s agenda is to do personal business rather than run the country and described Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s protest as ‘morally justified’.

In Express News’ show Khabar Say Aagay, the programme’s host presented the conversation between anchor Imran Khan and the CM Khattak, who said a case should be registered against Chaudhry Nisar if he recorded their private conversation.



“If Nisar, who is an old friend of mine, has revealed our private conversation at some other place then it is very sad as I did not expect this from him,” Khattak added.

Commenting on the revelations, anchor Imran Khan said if Khattak’s statement is accepted then it will have to be presumed that Chaudhry Nisar was also a part of the conspiracy to topple Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led government.

Anchor Imran Khan said Pervaiz Khattak’s statement came after the PML-N leader Talal Chaudhry said Khattak has apologised from the PML-N and the PTI leadership demanded an explanation from Khattak.

Commenting on the revelations, senior analyst Ayaz Khan said the conversation between Khattak and Nisar dates back to the period when Nisar was angry with his party leadership.
