PML-Q President Shujaat reveals Gen Beg offered them money during 1990 polls

Islamabad, Mar 14 (ANI): Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Husain has claimed that former Pakistan army chief General (r) Aslam Beg had asked the Chaudhry brothers to support the people of his choice in the 1990 elections and offered money in reward for this favour.

Shujaat revealed that General Beg had invited him and his cousin Pervaiz Elahi at a tea party and asked them to support the people who had the backing of army, the Daily Times reports.

"Beg asked us to provide account details so that money could be transferred. However, we had never thought about taking money from him and because of this refusal, no one can blame us," he said. I rejected the offer of Gen Beg by telling him that we would help the people of our choice and did not need money. When he insisted, we asked him to give us time and saved our skin through this tactic," Shujaat added. (ANI)
