Pakistan Muslim League (Q) leader Moonis Elahi has said former chief of the army staff General (retired) Qamar Bajwa cannot be termed a traitor.
In his interview with a private news channel, Moonis Elahi said he is against the approach of criticizing outgoing individuals.
When he [Bajwa] was giving PTI all-out support, he was right, the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid leader asked, wondering if Bajwa had now become a traitor to them.
Moonis Elahi claimed that they were told by the former chief of the army staff General (retired) Qamar Javed to stand firmly united with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf during the no-confidence motion.
After this, I asked my father Pervaiz Elahi to stand with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Moonis Elahi added.
Had he [Qamar Bajwa] been against PTI at that juncture of the no-confidence motion, he just had to give a signal, and we would have been sitting with them [PDM], Moonis Elahi said.
