ISLAMABAD- The long term association of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifwith former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar has ended finally.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has parted ways with his long-termassociate Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, sources informed.

Nawaz decided to not extend an invitation to Chaudhry Nisar, who has beenassociated with the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) for over threedecades, to the Central Working Committee (CWC) session held earlier today.

According to sources, Nawaz was not ready to invite Nisar despite theinsistence of Shehbaz Sharif, Khawaja Saad Rafique, and Ayaz Sadiq.

Earlier this month, on February 15, Federal Minister for Railways KhawajaSaad Rafique had said that the issue between Nawaz and Nisar will beresolved.

The federal minister was speaking on the recent issue between the twoleaders over the selection of the route for Nawaz’s motorcade following thePanama case July 28 verdict.

Rafique had said that Nawaz had not given any statement related to Nisar,adding that he is the one who suggested to Nawaz to take the Grand Trunkroad route instead of the Motorway for reaching Lahore during the PML-Npresident’s August rally.

The statement comes after Nawaz in an apparent jibe at Nisar, who haspublicly expressed reservations over various party policies, said that“certain people had advised me against taking out the rally through GTRoad”.
