Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Mashhood on Wednesday said his interview which was aired a day earlier was taken out of context and he made no mention of the word "deal". Clarifying his position with regard to interview, the PML-N leader told media outside the Punjab Assembly that he is a political worker and believes in democracy.
"Whenever I speak about the establishment, I am not referring to the army," he clarified. Criticising the Information Minister, Mashhood said, "Fawad Chaudhry in a statement two days ago said the judiciary and army is standing behind them. The army is Pakistan's and we all have a right on it," he added. The PML-N leader further said, "My interview was taken out of context and there was no mention of the word deal. I have said again and again, this was my own viewpoint. Mashhood said, "We have always spoken about upholding the law and have never looked for backdoors," he said, adding: "We have never made a deal nor will allow anyone to do so." It may be added that Rana said in interview that the PTI in Punjab holds a small majority. Everyone knows how this majority was secured. The people (independent MPAs) who helped in securing this majority have told me that false promises were made and they are now having a change of hearts.
