Summary Abid Sher Ali criticised his business-class company
(Web Desk) – Federal Minister for Water and Power, Abid Sher Ali, Aleem Khan of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and Manzoor Watto of Pakistan People’s Party shared a business-class flight from Islamabad to Karachi and it was awkward for obvious reasons.

Seemingly, Abid Sher Ali did not quite enjoy the surprise arrangement as he criticised Wattoo and Khan while talking to the media post the flight.
He referred to both the leaders as ‘relo kattay’ [turncoats] to which Wattoo apparently took offence and said that he shouldn’t have used the term for him at least.
Manzoor Wattoo distanced himself with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in 2008 and joined Pakistan People’s Party. Aleem Khan had quit Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam in 2012 to join PTI.
Last year, a sort of similar incident was reported in the media when spokesperson for PTI Naeemul Haq took up Pervaiz Rashid, then minister for information and broadcasting on his offer and hitched a ride with him on motorway all the way to Islamabad.
PTI has a history of launching series of anti-govt rallies including the longest running sit-in in the history of Pakistan in 2014 in Islamabad against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
PML-N government has had alleged derogatory remarks hurled at its leaders by PTI and vice versa. There are incidents of violent confrontations of parties workers in multiple cities over a period of time.
Besides Imran Khan, PPP leaders, former president Asif Ali Zardari and Chairman of the political organisation Bilawal have had some outbursts against the government in different rallies.
