ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Wafaqi wazir Chaudhry Salik Hussain ne Budh ko kaha ke woh Punjab mein corruption se mutaliq apna bayan kabhi wapas nahin lenge, aur wazir-e-ala Maryam Nawaz se kaha ke woh barhte hue tanaze mein 'woman card' na khelein.
Samandar paar Pakistaniyon ke wafaqi wazir aur Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) ke rehnuma Salik ne aik TV talk show mein kaha: "Agar aap siyasat mein hain to woman card na khelein." Unhon ne wazir-e-ala ke apne bare mein bayan ko awami ohde par faiz shakhs ke liye na-munasib qarar diya aur kaha ke unhon ne ghalat maloomat ki bunyad par baat ki.
Unhon ne kaha: "Main apna bayan kabhi wapas nahin loon ga kyunke yeh sach hai." Unka kehna tha ke un ke bayan ke baad corruption khatam nahin hui balke "zyada khul kar samne aa gayi hai". Unhon ne kaha ke wazir-e-ala ko apne walid, sabiq wazir-e-azam Nawaz Sharif se poochna chahiye ke jab koi kisi masle ki nishandahi kare to kaise jawab diya jata hai, aur yeh ke wazir-e-azam Shehbaz Sharif ne is tanaze par un se rabta nahin kiya.
Security wapas, jawab tayyar
Aik roz qabl Lahore mein sahafiyon se guftagu mein Salik ne kaha tha ke unhon ne apne asal bayan mein Maryam Nawaz ka naam nahin liya tha. Unhon ne bataya ke Punjab hukumat ne woh Elite Force security wapas le li hai jo taqreeban derh saal se un ke sath thi, aur yeh ke qanooni notice ka jawab tayyar hai jo chand dinon mein manzar-e-aam par laya jayega.
Yeh poochhe jane par ke kya un ke bare bhai Chaudhry Shafay Hussain Punjab ke wazir-e-sanat, tijarat, aur sarmayakari ke ohde se mustafi honge, Salik ne kaha ke un ke bhai ko un ke bayan ka pehle se ilm nahin tha aur is sawal ka jawab sirf wohi de sakte hain.
Tanaza kaise shuru hua
Yeh tanaza 2 November ko nashr hone wale aik TV interview se shuru hua jis mein Salik, jin ki jamaat PML-N ki wafaqi ittehadi hai, ne kaha tha ke Punjab mein corruption ki itni files hain ke poori almariyan bhar jayein. Unhon ne tasleem kiya tha ke un ke paas koi dastavezi saboot nahin. Unhon ne apne chacha, sabiq wazir-e-ala Chaudhry Pervez Elahi ki tareef bhi ki thi aur kaha tha ke Punjab ke taraqqiyati budget ka ghair mutanasib hissa Lahore par kharch ho raha hai.
Maryam Nawaz ne Salik, programme ke mezban, aur channel ke chairman ko qanooni notice bhijwaya jis mein ilzamat ko be-bunyad aur hatk-e-izzat par mabni qarar diya gaya, aur baad mein 5 arab rupay harjane, bayan wapas lene, aur ghair mashroot maafi ka mutalba kiya. Unhon ne sawal uthaya hai ke woh aisi hukumat mein kyun baithe hain jise woh corrupt samajhte hain, aur un ke bayan ko Gujrat ke deputy commissioner ki taeenati se joda hai. Salik ise mustarad karte hain aur kehte hain ke interview is taeenati se hafton pehle record hua tha.
