ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Qaiser on Saturday fired a broadside at the \u2018fugitive\u2019 PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif for \u201cstriking deals\u201d to pay ways to gain power time again since his political birth.
\nIn an exclusive interview with a private television channel, the former NA speaker said that Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan under a new \u201cdeal.\u201d \u201cThis is the only strategy which elder Sharif had always adopted in his entire political career.\u201d
\n\u201cEveryone knows Nawaz returned to Pakistan under a deal and he would be made country\u2019s next prime minister,\u201d Qaiser said, adding that PML-N would not come into power win under free and fair elections.
\nAsad Qaiser, who is heading PTI\u2019s political committee, criticized the caretaker Punjab government for suspending the sentence of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. \u201cUnder which law caretaker government had suspended the conviction of Sharif?\u201d he questioned.
\nOn a question regarding his and other PTI leaders\u2019 recent meeting with the JUI-F chief, Asad Qasier said that they met JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman at his residence with the consent of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and the permission of the party\u2019s core committee to lower tensions between the two sides.
\n\u201cWe met Fazl to offer condolences on the demise of his mother-in-law,\u201d he explained and refuted the notion that the two sides met to explore the possibility of forming a new political alliance similar to the PDM, seat adjustment in the upcoming elections or any strategy to work as political allies before or after the polls.
\nTo a question about offering Namaz behind Maulana Fazl and that too keeping in view the sentiments that the PTI and its leadership had for him, Qaiser quipped: \u201cWhen we reached Fazl\u2019s house Asar prayer was being offered and we just attended the prayer.\u201d
\nHe, however, expressed displeasure with JUI-F for recording the prayer video and releasing it on social media. \u201cPolitics and religion should be kept separate,\u201d Asad Qaiser added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
