Shujaat accepts Nawazs debate challenge in NA

ISLAMABAD (INP) - PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has accepted the challenge by the PML-N to debate in the National Assembly the corruption allegations against Moonis Elahi. Since the deal between Warraich family and the NICL had been cancelled, there was no substance in the propaganda launched by PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif against Moonis Elahi, he said. In an exclusive interview with INP news agency, Shujaat said the PML-Q had not been provided any opportunity to be heard properly at any forum which was against the principles of justice. He said since day one, they were clear indications that this campaign had been launched by the Sharif family. Now their claim to debate the issue in the National Assembly will unmask their real face. The propaganda against Moonis was so strong and well-planned that no court was ready to listen to the version of my family, Shujaat said, adding: But the PML-Ns claim to debate the issue in parliament would also provide us an opportunity to establish facts against the fiction. Shujaat argued how justice could be done if the defendant was not properly heard and only fiction had been preferred to facts. About his partys alliance with the ruling PPP, he said his party was looking for a long-term strategic partnership with the PPP and despite some difficulties, it would opt for seat adjustments with the ruling party in next elections.
