Qureshi released from prison to 'minus Imran from PTI', claims dissident Riaz
[GEO.TV] Former opposition leader National Assembly Raja Riaz has claimed that Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
was released from prison in June this year after "he agreed to work against party chief Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
Riaz, the PTI dissident, said this on Saturday while speaking during Geo News’ programme Naya Pakistain.

Qureshi was among the dozens of PTI leaders who were arrested following May 9 riots that were triggered after the arrest of Imran Khan in a corruption case.

Following the violent mostly peaceful protests, several PTI bigwigs including Fawad Chaudhry, Aamir Mehmood Kiyani, Ali Zaidi, Pervez Khattak and others parted their ways with the party chief over violent mostly peaceful protests that saw attacks on defence and public installations in many parts of the country.

When programme host Shehzad Iqbal referred to Qureshi’s statement that the caretaker prime minister name was not proposed by Riaz, he said: "First ask Qureshi sahib under what agreement he was released from jail and is roaming freely and holding pressers."

He said the PTI leaders are either in hiding or in jail, asking Qureshi to clear his position in this regard.

"100% he is outside jail due to some agreement. Those who are still with the PTI chairman are either in jail or in hiding," he added.

When asked about the purported deal under which Qureshi was released from jail, the PTI dissident said that the PTI vice chairman had agreed or might have given in writing that he would work against PTI chief Khan and "minus" him from the party.

Speaking on the same programme, Qureshi claimed newly-appointed caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar was neither a choice of Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) nor Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N).

"Do you think that country’s important decisions can be taken by Raja Riaz," Qureshi asked rhetorically.

He also expressed hope that the interim PM-designate will ensure free and fair elections in the country, warning that controversial polls cannot bring stability to the country.

In an unexpected development earlier today, a little-known Senator Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar — a politician belonging to Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
Awami Party (BAP) — was named as caretaker prime minister, a statement from the Prime Minister's Office said.
