ISLAMABAD -UNS: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) spokesperson Mustafa Malik has strongly reacted to remarks by Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari, accusing her of resorting to personal attacks instead of responding to questions raised by Federal Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain.
In his response, Mustafa Malik said Bukhari had taken offence at being shown a mirror and had chosen personal criticism rather than addressing Chaudhry Salik Hussain’s questions.
He questioned where her conscience was when she was allegedly calling Nawaz Sharif an agent of India’s intelligence agency, RAW, while her father, according to Malik, was engaged in efforts to protect Raymond Davis.
Malik further alleged that Bukhari was known for her use of abusive language, adding that political disagreements should not be turned into personal enmity.
He said Chaudhry Salik Hussain had maintained dignity and civility despite what he described as baseless allegations against him.
“Turning political differences into personal hostility is an expression of political weakness,” Malik said.
He added that Bukhari was a woman and deserved respect, but criticised what he described as the use of the “woman card” in response to political criticism.
The PML-Q spokesperson maintained that political debate should focus on substantive issues rather than personal attacks.
