Pakistan: Aitzaz thanks PM Nawaz for apologizing over Nisar remarks

Senior PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan on Friday thanked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for apologizing over Chaudhry Nisar’s remarks.
“My family has a track record of sacrifices in the Pakistan movement and politics of Pakistan, but facing allegations here… I’m thankful for Prime Minister’s apology and sympathy,” Ahsan said while recalling achievements of his forefathers and his past politics, bemoaning charges leveled by PML-N senior leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
Nisar had blamed the PPP leader for patronizing land-mafia and illegally mounting money from LPG quota.
Earlier, the PM addressed the house and apologized over his cabinet minister’s remarks against Aitzaz Ahsan.
The Parliament on Friday resumed debate on the prevailing political crisis in the joint session where lawmakers from both treasury and opposition benches addressed the house.
“Mr. PM you must see if lighters of the fire are around you, if they are among your ranks,” he criticized the PM.
“Mian sahab! Don’t take shelter of those who have betrayed you time and again. Dirty allegations were leveled against me, defending myself is my right,” said the charged Aitzaz, who is also a senior lawyer.
