*LAHORE: Tehmina Durrani, the wife of Shehbaz Sharif, has responded to therevelations made by her former Secretary. *

*She categorically rejected Zubair Mehmood’s claims that Chaudhry Nisar Aliwas opposing Maryam Nawaz at the behest of Punjab’s Chief Minister.*

Her clarification came shortly after Mehmood, who claims to have worked asSecretary to Ms Durrani, made startling disclosures on SAMAA, sayingShehbaz Sharif didn’t want to see Maryam Nawaz as PML-N leader.

“Tehmina Durrani told me that Chaudhry Nisar was opposing the party’sleadership on the directives of Shehbaz,” he said.

Durrani has rejected Zubair’s claims.

“I want to make it clear that he [Zubair Mehmood] was not my secretary,”she said in SAMAA’s talk show Khara Such on Tuesday night.

“He used to look after poor kids in my organization.”

The author of ‘My feudal lord’ said that Mehmood had never met ChaudhryNisar, who she says is like a family member.

“He may have met Mian sahib once or twice. He shouldn’t have been givenairtime.”

Durrani said she would not be blackmailed and if anyone thinks he can, thenhe is mistaken.

On a question whether her husband would become a good ruler, she saidShehbaz Sharif had pledged in the Ka’aba that he will make Pakistan awelfare country.
