Nisar hits back at Pervaiz Rasheed on 'interior minister' remarks

ISLAMABAD: In an apparent reaction to statements made by former information minister Pervaiz Rasheed, senior PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that some people have put the entire blame for their mistakes on the interior ministry and establishment.

"People should tell what help they expected from the interior ministry and should have the moral courage to explain the conspiracies staged against them," said a statement released by Nisar's spokesman. 

"They should also have the moral courage to not confuse the nation," added the statement. 

In a reference to the Dawn Leaks commission, the former interior minister said that "a five-member committee comprising of members from federal and provincial institutions gave a decision against them."

Earlier, Pervaiz Rasheed in an interview to a private news channel said that, "decisions were taken against us while the interior minister existed, JITs have been created 'the interior’ was there," he said, in an apparent statement against former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar.
