Islamabad, Jan. 16 (TNS): War of words continues between leaders of ruling party as Pervez Rashid on Monday asked Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz to expel Chaudhry Nisar from the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cChaudhry Nisar wanted to have me expelled from the party to please someone,\u201d Rashid said during an interview. \u201cSome people wanted to oust me from the federal Cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe [Nisar] arranged the scheme of things in a way that he was able to please them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Rashid went on to\u00a0say,\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t want to name a particular institution but it was a group in the\u00a0military whom Nisar attempted to please with my ouster.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nisar, he added, shouldn\u2019t be in the party and it is up to the leadership to make a decision in this regard. \u201cIf I\u2019m asked, I will definitely say that a decision\u00a0needs to be made on [whether] Nisar [should retain his party membership].\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Rashid, the\u00a0former interior minister issued misleading statements against the party when it was facing a test [following the controversy].<\/p>\n
