KALLAR SYEDAN: Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar on Saturday refuted the rumours regarding the formation or presence of any “forward block” within the ranks of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
“There is no division in the party,” the former interior minister stressed while addressing a gathering in Kallar Syedan.
“There is a difference of opinion which is normal in a democracy, however, that does not mean that a forward block is being formed.” Nisar criticised his political opponents for spreading such rumours and maintained that people’s wish to see a divided PML-N will never be fulfilled, and that the party will compete the general elections in 2018 with full strength.
He advised his political rivals to focus on organising their own parties. This was the second time that the senior PML-N leader hinted at the party’s unity while admitting to the internal conflicts. During an earlier address in Murree, Nisar had said that he along with the former prime minister and PML-N president Nawaz Sharif had laid the founding stone of the party.
