Shafqat Mehmood wrote columns against Imran Khan in very good English: Khawaja Asif
Pakistan
Says it is a God’s blessing that some people have loyalty and courage in their DNA
Asif says he had a misunderstanding of a close friendship with Mehmood for 50 to 55 years
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said when Shafqat Mehmood was with Shehbaz Sharif, he used to write columns against Imran Khan in a very good English.
Asif said Mehmood’s politics started with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and, all the way through Musharraf and Shehbaz Sharif, ended with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
“I know Mehmood since 1964. I had a misunderstanding of a close friendship with him for 50 to 55 years. During that period, we both conducted good and bad deeds together, mostly bad,” Asif remembered.
The defence minister said when Imran Khan's cabinet imposed Article 6 on him, Mehmood conducted a press conference against him.
“My iqama, business and salary were all declared for 30 years. I faced an intense inquiry due to the press conference, but I was happy that I could learn about the true face of some people,” the defence minister said.
