Ishaq Dar expressed regret over the attack on the house of Pervez Elahi and the violation of the sanctity of the veil and walls.
Qureshi informed him about the sentiments of Pervaiz Elahi’s family, who were harassed and even arrested by the police.
Qureshi also informed the federal minister about the sentiments of PTI on the illegal attack on Chaudhry Pervez Elahi’s house.
The federal government distanced itself from the attack. Dar said the federal government has nothing to do with the attack on the house of Pervaiz Elahi.
He claimed the action has been taken on the order of the Caretaker Punjab Government. Dar said he will inform his party leadership about the PTI’s sentiments and will contact him soon.
Speaking to media after the conversation, Qureshi said Ishaq Dar has distanced the federal government for the incident yesterday. He said Dar informed that the raid was carried out at the orders of the interim Punjab government.
