Ch Nisar Ali Khan gets a big blow from PMLN

ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will not get PMLN ticket for the upcoming general elections.

Earlier Ch Nisar had hinted that he would contest elections as an independent if no party ticket is given to him.

Mr Nisar’s statement against party leadership and his stance against the party line on the Panama Paper case verdict against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and criticism against the judiciary indicate that he has already lost a ‘sacred’ place in the party.

Senator Pervaiz Rashid, a senior leader of the PML-N, said: “The PML-N will go to polls with its present narrative and Chaudhry Nisar, who is deadly against the party’s narrative, cannot contest the polls from the party platform.”

While hinting that Chaudhry Nisar might not get party ticket in the next general elections, the former information minister said Mr Nisar was acting against the present narrative of the ruling party.

“His fate in the party will be decided by incumbent PML-N president Shahbaz Sharif,” he added.
