ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, through a statement issued by his spokesman, denied reports that he did not attend Nawaz Sharif's GT Road rally due to back pain.
"Neither did I tell anyone that I could not attend the rally due to back pain and my absence was not due to this reason," said the statement issued by Nisar.
"The reality is that 99 per cent of senior leaders are not part of the rally. Why is only my absence being made controversial?"
The former interior minister further said that he had never said that he will drive Nawaz Sharif's vehicle to Lahore but still the news story was run for a day.
"The reality is that a statement from me was run some time ago which I never gave to anyone," further added the statement.
