ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Khan Marwat has claimed that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari contacted him Tuesday night.
Talking to newsmen in Islamabad on Wednesday, Marwat said Asif Zardari contacted him last night around 11pm through few people.Marwat quoted the Zardari as saying that the PTI is their priority for forming government in the Centre, not Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, local media reported.
The PTI leader said he informed party’s leadership after establishment of contact with the PPP leadership. I will inform PTI founder about the political contacts, said Marwat.Meanwhile, PPP Secretary Information Faisal Karim rejected Marwat’s claim and termed it “childish and frivolous”.
“I don’t consider Sher Afzal Marwat to be a serious person if the PTI was to be contacted, as it would have been contacted through a serious person,” he said.Kundi said the PTI have come to know that their government is not being formed now. “Sometimes they say that they won 150 seats and sometimes they claim 180 seats but they don’t even know how many seats they win,” he said.
He said that if the PTI wanted to give an official position, it should give it through a serious person. “Sher Afzal Marwat can do a comedy show, but cannot become a serious politician,” he remarked.
