(Lahore) Two stalwarts of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz tangled in
a verbal brawl in the presence of party president Shahbaz Sharif in a NAB
courtroom; here on Monday. Sources said Khwaja Ahmed Hassaan; following an
intra party dispute pertaining to his alleged conspicuous absence from the
party's hyper activities under the umbrella of Pakistan Democratic Movement
(PDM); reached the court to meet Shahbaz Sharif. Sources said there was a
growing concern among top party tiers involved in the organizational matters
for meeting the high-rev political activity during the last couple of months.
Since the party needed an extra effort for a cold-start, it had to even call
the reserves. With a huge task looming, the party needed every foot on the
ground. Sources said senior party leader and former mayor Khwaja Hassaan could
not pool in his part of the workload; the party ranks had strong reservations
for the former mayor, who had a high political utility as far as Lahore is
concerned. Sources said Khwaja Saad Rafique highlighted the absence of Khwaja
Ahmed Hassaan in party meetings because he was concerned and his views also
reached Hassaan in another way. Sources said that in the courtroom, Khwaja
Ahmed Hassaan was talking with Shahbaz Sharif and explaining him why he was not
active in the recent party activities when Khwaja Saad Rafique intercepted him
and asked him to stop talking on the issue as that was not the place to discuss
such topics. Sources said Khwaja Ahmed Hassaan continued his talk on which
Khwaja Saad again intercepted him but he ignored him; and the third time when
Khwaja Saad tried to stop him; Khwaja Ahmed Hassaan got angry and gave Khwaja
Saad a shut-up call. After that; Shahbaz Sharif stood up from his seat and
stopped both the party leaders to remain calm and quite.
