CM Murad Ali Shah criticises PTI over Qureshi-Tareen spat
He spoke to the media in Sehwan, and contrasted the PTI with the PPP over cracks within members.
SEHWAN (Dunya News) – Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday strongly criticised the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) – following differences between PTI stalwarts Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Jahangir Khan Tareen – by stating “ask the PTI how many blocs are there [in the party]”.
He spoke to the media in Sehwan, and contrasted the PTI with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) by saying, “No member of the PPP will abandon the party.”
“They have been clashing with each other,” he added.
“Whoever has betrayed the PPP, suffered his fair share of ill-fate,” he went on to say.
The differences between two senior members of the PTI came to surface when Qureshi asked Tareen to refrain from attending official government meetings.
Shortly after, Tareen via Twitter took a swipe at Qureshi, saying: "There is only one man in my life whom I consider my leader and to whom I am answerable. His name is Imran Khan."
"I have stood by his side through thick and thin and will continue to do so till my last breath, IA. What others may say for their own strange reasons does not concern me," he added, without naming Qureshi.
Tareen was disqualified by the Supreme Court in December 2017 for mis-declaration under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution.
