MPA warns QWP

MANSEHRA: Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Mohammad Ibrar Tanoli, who quit Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) and joined the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) last week, has said that he will give a tit-for-tat response if the QWP didn’t withdraw a show-cause notice issued to him.

“I had promised Aftab Sherpao to contest the 2013 general election on his party’s ticket and fulfilled my commitment with him,” Ibrar Tanoli told reporters in Oghi on Saturday.

Ibrar Tanoli said that he respected leaders and parties in the country but he would never tolerate his previous party’s show-cause notice to him.

He said that he was having a dossier of QWP to reveal in public but he would never do so.

“I am a man of principle and would spend my entire life in JI even as a worker as I have announced in public meeting last week in Tanawal and those still having offers for me to join their parties would never be welcomed,” Tanoli said. Jamaat-e-Islami awarded party tickets to Tanoli for upcoming general election both for NA-21 and PK-57.
