ISLAMABAD - Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly and key PML-N stalwart, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, has been subjected to severe criticism from his own party leadership for his no confidence in FIA in probing the Asghar Khan case.Party insiders privy to the development told TheNation on Friday that PML-N’s central leadership as well as down tier cadres had taken serious view to the statement of Ch. Nisar and described it as disappointing.The situation, according to the sources, turned so grave that the party’s central President Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had to set aside his statement by announcing that he would join the probe to be conducted by FIA. “It was an immature move by Nisar Ali Khan that has caused embarrassment for the party,” the sources said adding Nawaz Sharif was fully committed to follow the process set out by the Supreme Court and to defend him against the allegations. They were of the view that since the PML-N leadership was not guilty of the offence, therefore, it was in the interest of the party to join the process the apex court outlined for investigation.Despite several attempts to approach Nisar Ali Khan for his input on the isse, it could not be possible till filing of this report.
