Imran invites Nisar to join PTI

Published February 12, 2018 Updated February 12, 2018 12:00am

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Sunday invited former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to join his bandwagon after the former plainly sated that he would not work under Sharifs' children. Talking to the media here, he said it would be better if Nisar joins PTI, promising his support to the former interior minister even he chooses to contest the next election as an independent candidate.
"Sometimes, you've to have a bigger heart in politics," he said. The PTI chairman once again rejected the possibility of an alliance with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). "Alliance with Bilawal means an alliance with Zardari, which is impossible," he added.
Khan also hailed his party's decision to not quit the assemblies, adding that they have finalised names of six candidates for Senate elections. Khan said Maulana Samiul Haq is their ally and he could be given additional votes for Senate elections.
The PTI chief also claimed that an individual offered Rs 400 million for Senate ticket, adding that if came to power, his party will get Senate elections conducted directly. Over the weekend, Nisar said that he is ready to work under former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif but will not work under Maryam Nawaz.
Nisar brazenly said that he will not be hypocritical and will say things as they are. When asked about his earlier comment made on Maryam Nawaz being inept to hold public office, he remarked.
