ISLAMABAD, (Pakistan Point News - 16th Feb, 2018) : Ayesha Gulalai accused the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of bribing her with candidacy of Senate on the condition of maligning the army. The estranged PTI lawmaker said that she rejected the offer of contesting the upcoming Senate elections from PML-N straight away. “PML-N provoked me to speak against the army. I rejected the offer to accept Senate ticket,” she said while talking to media outside the parliament.
Gulalai told that Nawaz Sharif is more dangerous than her ex-party chairman Imran Khan. She said, “He (Nawaz Sharif) is targeting the state institutions in his speeches.” She also commented on the PTI’s defeat in Lodhran by-election of NA-154, saying that the people rejected a party which discriminated them. Gulalai stressed that the armed forces constitute national institution that works for the state. Earlier in a press conference, Gulalai had took credit of PML-N’s victory in Lodhran by-election and said that she had in fact motivated the people to vote for the ruling party.
Last year, the lawmaker from Waziristan had accused Imran Khan of sexual harassment, alleging that the honour of PTI female members were not safe from PTI chief and his gang. It had followed some media reports suggesting that she will join PML-N, however, she had announced to launch her own party. ECP had rejected the reference submitted by PTI to dismiss Ayesha Gulalai from the party with majority votes of three over two.
