LONDON: Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi’s political adviser Adeel Hussain Shah has rejected as a blatant lie the claim by Syed Tasnim Haider that he got him appointed as Elahi’s political adviser.
Tasnim Haider claimed recently that Nawaz Sharif and Nasir Butt in the presence of eight PML-N leaders made a murder plan against Imran Khan and Arshad Sharif and that he agreed to provide shooters to attack Imran Khan in Wazirabad and that Nasir Butt controlled Waqar and Khurram in Kenya.
Tasnim Haider also claimed that Adeel Hussain Shah (also known as Syed Adeel Abbas Shah) from Gujarat’s Moinudin Pur Syedan was his cousin and it was on his recommendation that Pervaiz Elahi made him his political advisor.Speaking at a press conference, Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi’s ally Adeel Hussain Shah and his nephew Syed Shujah Abbas Shah rejected every claim made about them by Tasnim Haider Shah and disassociated themselves from him.
The Punjab Chief Minister’s adviser said: “He (Tasnim Haider Shah) has spoken a blatant lie that he got me appointed as adviser to Chief Minister Punjab. He has been against Chaudhary brothers and he has alleged that the Chaudharies registered murder cases against him. How can he get me appointed as a political adviser?”
Adeel Hussain Shah said that Tasnim Haider also lied when he claimed he was his cousin. “This is another lie. We have no blood relation with him. He has no relation with Chaudhary brothers.
