| Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif reprimanded four federal ministers from his party who attended a dinner hosted by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani in which President Pervez Musharraf was also present. Addressing a meeting with his party’s legislators in Islamabad on Saturday, he asked them not to attend any event where President Musharraf was present and warned them of disciplinary action if a member violated the directive, PML-N sources told Daily Times. He told Senior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Petroleum Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Youth Affairs Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and Education Minsiter Ahsan Iqbal that their participation in the dinner was “embarrassing” for him. Chaudhry Nisar and Ahsan Iqbal said they had been invited by the prime minister and did not know the president would attend the dinner. Nawaz said he had also been invited but that he had excused himself. |
