LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) vice chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Wednesday that there were other people also who knew about the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) and were close to the former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, DawnNews reported.

He further said that he was unaware of the deal despite of being the foreign minister at the time and added that Safdar Abbasi might have better information over the deal.

Qureshi claimed that Zardari has gone to Washington to check the status of the NRO deal adding that the deal, for which the Unites States was a guarantor, had ensured the cancellation of corruption charges against the former president.

PTI vice-chairman questioned that if the statement issued by Shehla Raza was based on truth then would the army be allowed to impose martial law on the fourth democratic term.

Qureshi also said that law must be equal for everyone and that PTI would not be a part of any deal in relation with Pervez Musharraf.
