Tariq Fazal Chaudhry: We Will Be Responsible If PTI Founder’s Health Suffers

Lahore: Federal minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry has said in an interview that if all parties agree, the PML-N will also agree to create provinces.

He said the PTI has long maintained that it supports provinces. There were some reasons for the halt in meetings with the PTI founder. The PTI chairman has contacts with the government and with Mohsin Naqvi. As interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi can decide on meetings with the PTI founder.

Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said the government is not under pressure and will not come under pressure. Mohsin Naqvi does not make any statement without informing the prime minister. According to him, when Mohsin Naqvi represents the establishment, the government and the establishment are united.

Bushra Bibi will be kept in hospital if she needs it. According to him, the differences with the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi are not personal but political.

He said the PTI founder has been taken to PIMS hospital eight times, but not every time at the request of the PTI. A doctor practising in London was called in to treat the PTI founder’s blood pressure. A seventh injection was given in the PTI founder’s eye.

The PTI founder is taken to hospital on the advice of doctors, whether he is in jail or not. Eyesight weakens with age.

Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said the health and politics of the PTI founder should be kept separate. He said, “If anything happens to the health of the PTI founder, we will be responsible. There will be no compromise on his health.”
