PTI, JUI-F buried their narratives, say PPP, PML-N on bonhomie between arch-rivals

• Kundi says Fazl lost polls in KP but hue, cry being made in Sindh. 
• Marriyum says PDM moved no-trust motion against Imran.
• Maulana can himself explain his statement, she says. 

Reacting to amicability between arch-rivals Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Secretary Information Faisal Karim Kundi has said both the parties have buried their own narrative.

“Let’s see when PTI founder Imran Khan and Maulana Fazlur Rehman apologise to each other,” Kundi said during Geo News programme ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada kay Sath’.

Imran and Fazl have long loathed each other, a fact that has been evident in their past speeches wherein they took a dig at each other levelling various allegations. However, the turn of political events have brought them together as the PTI has sought to forge an alliance with the JUI-F. In a meeting, both parties agreed to jointly act against the “massively rigged elections”.

Expressing doubt on a possible alliance between the duo, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said she did not foresee the Fazl that she knew making an alliance with the PTI.

In response to Fazl’s interview with a private TV channel wherein he claimed that some general asked him to participate in the no-trust motion against the PTI, the PPP secretary information said it was the law of nature that everything went back to its origin.

Kundi said according to Fazl, no-confidence against the PTI government was brought at the behest of generals but Maulana should also tell as to who benefitted the most after the end of the government. 

“Also, tell the truth about who committed corruption in which department and loot of state resources,” he said.

He said Fazl lost elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but a hue and cry was being made in Sindh. He said Fazl should tell the nation on whose request the sit-in was started and on whose orders it ended.

Kundi said if Fazl’s son had won from Tank, he would have said, “Let the system continue; we will be allies of the government. Since his son is not yet in the assembly, Maulana is getting angry.”

Marriyum, who was a key figure in the PDM-led government, said the multi-party coalition had moved the no-confidence motion against Imran in a completely constitutional manner.

“The statement made by Maulana (about the military officers) can be explained by himself,” she said during the Geo News’ show.
