Moonis rejects reports Bilawal sought Chaudhry’s help for Gilani

Member of the National Assembly (MNA) and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Moonis Elahi Monday rejected media reports suggesting that Chaudhry brothers had refused to support Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) candidate for the seat of Senate chairman, when Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited their place on Sunday to see them, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In his tweet, Moonis said Bilawal had come to inquire after Chaudhry Shujat Hussain only. “No such thing happened. @BBhuttoZardari did not ask for support in senate and nor did we offer. He came to inquire about Shujat Sb’s health for which we are grateful.”
