Moonis Elahi says statement by Fawad “will surely rock or even dismantle” the coalition

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – While expressing anger over the statement of Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry regarding forward bloc, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) on Wednesday decided to raise the matter with Prime Minister Imran Khan.

According to Dunya News sources, PML-Q leader Tariq Bashir Cheema will meet Prime Minister Imran Khan today (Wednesday).

He said that the matter will only be discussed with the prime minister.

Cheema went on to say that party leader Chaudhry Moonis Elahi had also expressed resentment over the federal minister’s statement.

Moonis Elahi said that recent statement by Fawad Chaudhry “will surely rock or even dismantle” the party’s coalition with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

“Comments by Fawad Chaudhry will surely rock or even dismantle this coalition. PTI officials and Imran Khan need to discipline children,” he tweeted.

Later, Elahi said that Fawad had contacted him and offered an apology by saying that it was a slip of the tongue.

It is pertinent here to mention that the information minister had said that if they wanted, they would have formed a forward bloc in the PML-Q.
