Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader and Federal Minister Moonis Elahi has paid thanks to Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed for clearing misunderstanding between then, 24News HD TV Channel reported on Sunday.
According to the channel, PML-Q leader Moonis Elahi thanked Sh Rasheed in a tweet for clearing misunderstanding and said he respected him as he respects his elders.
pertinent to mention here that a crack in the ruling PTI coalition has come into public when Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed and PML-Q’s Moonis Elahi clashed yesterday in the backdrop of the no-confidence motion tabled by the joint Opposition against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Talking to the media in Quetta yesterday, Sheikh Rasheed alleged that the people having only five seats were blackmailing the PTI for Punjab chief ministership.
Reacting to the Interior Minister’s statement, Moonis Elahi said “I respect Sheikh Sahib but he is forgetting that he during his student life used to take money from the elders of my party."
But now today, addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the interior minister expressed his respect for Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and called him his brother. He said people got angry when he stated that parties with four to five seats were blackmailing the government.
“But I took the name of neither PML-Q nor Chaudhry Brothers. I owe a great deal to the PML-Q elders – Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi and Khawaja Safdar,” he said and added that the mother of Chaudhry Shujaat used to send meals to him when he was in jail.
