Islamabad: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Tuesday said that Shah Mehmood quit Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for principles but the issue of ministerial portfolio.
Talking to journalists here, she termed Qureshi as opportunist and condemned his criticism of party leadership. She said that Qureshi hurt the feelings of party workers by criticising the party leadership.
She said that PPP was aware of behind the scene conspiracies being hatched by the former minister. She said that the minister quit ministry and PPP for his personal interests.
It is to be mentioned here that Shah Mehmood Qureshi ended his 18 years’ association with the PPP on Monday, citing the leadership’s decision to ally the party with the Pakistan Muslim League-Q as the main reason for his decision. Qureshi harshly criticised the policies being pursued by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
