Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, who remains incarcerated in Adiala jail, claimed that his cousin and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had greenlit his decision to join the Imran Khan-led party.
Elahi said that the PTI chief had promised to appoint him as the party president due to his sacrifices during the party’s tough times.
While talking to media persons outside an Islamabad court, the seasoned politician was asked why didn’t Shujaat himself did the same if he was behind the former’s decision to join PTI.
“Shujaat Hussain did not join PTI due to [his son] Salik Hussain because he was very fond of becoming a minister,” Elahi said.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President asserted that he has no ‘intention of holding a press conference.
