Islamabad [Pakistan], May 2 (ANI): Moonis Elahi, Pakistan Muslim League Qaid (PML-Q) top leader, claimed a political vendetta behind the registration of FIR against the former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, and warned the Sharif brothers to refrain from any kind of revengeful moves.
Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, another top leader of PML-Q, said in a statement, that Sharifs have neither taken any lesson from the history nor stopped targeting their political rival, Ary News reported on Sunday.
He added that the ‘imported government’ is taking dangerous steps by using religious cards in the country.
“Imran Khan has no connection with the Masjid-e-Nabavi PBUH incident and the PTI chairman has also clarified his position,” he further added.
PMLQ leader also said the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had summoned members of the National Assembly who even did not cast their vote against the PTI, while the cases of lawmakers, who had cast their vote and breached the party line, were pending.
Two separate groups, a 150-member group from Pakistan and another group from London, had been sent to Saudi Arabia, who harassed Pakistani pilgrims and stopped them from performing their religious rituals at Masjid-e-Nabawi, read the FIR, according to local media reports.
