ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Information Secretary Raoof Hasan believes his party would not accept Fawad Chaudhry back its fold again.
Replying to a query while talking to a private TV channel, Hasan said, “I did not receive any green light from PTI founder Imran Khan about taking Fawad back in the party’s camp.”
He said he did not foresee the return of any former party leader, who jumped ship in difficult times, back into the party fold. He said there were many of them trying to rejoin the party after facing political demise, but the PTI founder did not approve it.
Hasan said a younger and ideological lot had emerged in the party after the May 9 incidents.
He expressed suspicion about media hype regarding those people who earlier dissociated with the party when they were needed the most.
“I call them rats,” he said adding that he believed that certain powers wanted to create disloyalty through them in the party ranks after they failed in their attempts against the PTI, while the party was getting stronger every day.
Separately, in a statement while talking to a TV news channel, PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat admitted that “some friends” were trying to re-induct Fawad in the party, however, the party leadership and workers had reservations over his return
Fawad was on April 6 released from Adiala jail, two days after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had approved his bail. He had approached the high court seeking post-arrest bail in all the cases against him.
Hiba Chaudhry, Fawad’s wife, had posted a video of his return, wherein the ex-minister could be seen embracing his daughters who were excited to see their father after a long time.
