LAHORE, July 20(ABC): PTI leader and former provincial minister Murad Raas claims that the party’s lawmakers are being offered between Rs30 million and Rs50 million each by PML-N to change their loyalties ahead of the vote recount for the Punjab chief minister post.
In a tweet, Raas referred to the PML-N as “chors (thiefs)”.
Referring to PML-N, he said these “shameless chors are trying to do everything to stay in power”.
Mian Aslam Iqbal, leader of the PTI, stated that their numbers are complete, but that a “market is being set up to buy members.”
Dr Yasmin Rashid, another PTI leader, stated that PTI does not want to start a fight. “We have won 15 seats. The people have spoken,” she said.
The PTI leader added that Rana Sanaullah should tone down his threatening rhetoric, stating that he was also responsible for the Model Town massacre and that if the politics of looting had been acceptable, the people would have voted for PML-N.
