Elahi will be welcomed if he wants to come as a family [member],\u201d says Shafay
\nIslamabad
\nIn view of the ongoing exodus of leaders from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) following the May 9 mayhem, Chaudhry Shafay Hussain, the elder son of Chaudhry Shujaat, on Saturday clarified that there was no room for Parvez Elahi in Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q).
\nTalking to journalists outside the Corps Commander House (Jinnah House) in Lahore \u2014 which came under an arson attack allegedly by the supporters of PTI last month \u2014 Shafay said, \u201cParvez Elahi will be most welcomed if he wants to come as a family [member] but politically, it will be better for him to form his own party.\u201d
\n\u201cThe miscreants burnt everything in Jinnah House,\u201d the PML-Q leader said, adding that those involved in the arson attack at the house should be punished.
\nKhan\u2019s arrest earlier this month sparked days of street protests after which the PTI leaders\u2019 exodus started, as security forces launched a crackdown against the party following the attacks on civil and military institutions, including the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi and the Lahore Corps Commander\u2019s House. At least eight people were killed in the violent protests in the country.
\nShafay was of the view that PTI was behind the attacks on the military installations and smashing statues of the national heroes.
\nStressing the need for joint efforts, he said together we have to strengthen the country.
\nEarlier today, officials of the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) presented Elahi before a Gujranwala court.
\nElahi was produced in the court of Duty Judicial Magistrate Muhammad Afzal, where anti-corruption officials will request the court to grant them Elahi\u2019s physical remand.
\nACE officials brought Elahi to its regional office in Gujranwala from Lahore earlier this morning.
\nYesterday, a special judge of the anti-corruption court in Lahore issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Elahi, ordering authorities to produce him by June 2. However, minutes later he was re-arrested in a corruption case registered against him in Gujranwala by ACE Punjab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
