Former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali has called for the Dawn Leaks to be made public. The Dawn Leaks report led to the sacking of cabinet members Pervaiz Rashid and Tariq Fatemi, and principal information officer Rao Tehseen. In a press conference, Nisar also said he did not join the cabinet because of difference of opinion. Contrary to expectations, Nisar avoided targeting his party leadership and colleagues. Instead, he highlighted his performance as former interior minister.
The former interior minister skilfully deflected questions on thorny issues like the post-Panamagate verdict scenario and Dawn Leaks. In an interview with a private TV channel, former information minister Pervaiz Rashid in muted criticism of Chaudhry Nisar had said the interior ministry under him could have done more to help Sharif take right decisions during difficult times. The vague references incensed Nisar who responded within no time, saying Rashid should have explained as to what kind of help he expected from the interior ministry to cover up their deeds. The minister preferred to highlight the achievements and initiatives he and his ministry had taken during the little over past four years. He said there was no conflict between the civil-military leadership and added he always got the military’s cooperation during his period as interior minister. Nisar said his decision to not join the cabinet was made in principle and added that he stuck by it.Highlighting his performance at the interior ministry, Nisar said he was privileged to head the ministry for over four years and added he never lauded his performance and got credit of achievements.He said due to success of the operation against militants, the graph of terrorism had come down in the country. Nisar said the operation against terrorists had entered its final phase, adding there is need to counter terrorists with perseverance.Nisar is a veteran politician and most senior leader in Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz. He has rendered great contributions for the party and remained loyal in every difficult time. He is not happy with the party leadership as he evolved differences on matter related to Panama case. Chaudhry Nisar should show calmness as party is facing critical time. Other PML-N leaders should also avoid war of words against each other and internal issues should be resolved inside party. Higher leadership should take notice of the situation and bound every member to follow party discipline.
