'Ex-CM tape reveals conspiracies'

LAHORE - The PML-N on Monday issued an alleged audiotape to substantiate former chief minister Punjab Ch Pervaiz Elahi's conspiracies as a last-ditch effort to reject the nomination papers of the Sharif brothers.
PML-N Central Secretary Information and former federal minister for education Ahsan Iqbal produced the audiotape during a hurriedly-called Press conference held at PML-N headquarters Model Town.
"We have received an audiotape in the office. In the tape, an unknown person is informing former Punjab chief minister Ch Pervaiz Elahi that the Lahore High Court chief justice has assured that he would constitute a tribunal which would reject nomination papers of both Sharifs," Iqbal added.
The PML-N Secretary Information termed such activities as conspiracy against the entire nation. He said unless the unconstitutional president, Pervez Musharraf, steps down, the season of conspiracies would continue.
Iqbal said that after the Sharif brothers' nomination papers were accepted, the President and his accomplices started hatching conspiracies to stop them reaching the Parliament.
"Besides audiotape, we will make public more evidences to prove that Musharraf and Pervaiz Elahi were conspiring against Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif. He said Musharraf was like a computer virus which is destructive for the country. "We need to get rid of him as soon as possible," he added.
Responding to a query, he said: "Until we receive draft of constitutional package, we cannot comment on it". But, he added, the PML-N would neither support minus one formula, nor would it accept curtailment in deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry's tenure.
