Real face of Qureshi exposed: Firdous Ashiq
She stated Qureshi contested election after martyrdom of Benazir Bhutto and he was given the portfolio of foreign minister with the consent of President Asif Ali Zardari. Qureshi remained part of our government for three and a half year, she held. He started showing his action when ministry of his own choice was not allocated to him , she alleged.
“Qureshi himself has resigned from the party and party has not separated him. Behind the curtain facts were in the knowledge of government far before his resignation . But party was seeing he should do something on his own and his real face should be exposed before the people. On Monday he had done this job and his face has been exposed automatically, she underlined.
She went on to say that targeting party leadership was a wrong thing. Party workers had been hurt due to his criticism. Such things ill suit to a big personality. People join and quit the party. Whenever some one joins we will welcome him and whenever he quits party he has to face humiliation, she added. Look at Ghulam Mustafa Khar and Farooq Leghari and several names like them are before all of us, she maintained.
Qureshi is a political vagabond, she remarked. He should stay in one party, Information Minister said.
Replying to a question that Khawaja Asif of PML-N has said resignations are likely to pour in like rain within two or three months, she said democratic leaders and people want parliament should complete its tenure.
