ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry on Monday said he had talked with Pakistan Peoples Party leader Musa Gilani and Faisal Javaid and the issue has been resolved amicably. 

A scuffle had broken out between PTI members and the security squad of PPP's Ali Musa Gillani at Patoki on Sunday night.

He further added, in a tweet, that both parties will not pursue the matter further.

PTI leader Faisal Javed Khan had said that the guards of former prime minister's son had fired on the party chairman Imran Khan's convoy.

"Two cars of his squad intercepted us. One of the car obstructed us, the other hit us from side. Armed guards came outside his car. One of the guard fired, luckily the fire passed overhead," adding, "then his guard approached me, opened the gate of my car, I saved myself by asking the driver to speed away from the spot."

In his press conference, Musa Gillani refuted the allegation leveled by PTI members that his squad fired on them. He maintained that had his car stopped PTI' cavalcade, it wouldn't have been hit from behind.

Both the sides had later submitted applications seeking registration of an FIR against each other.

"Police was at the spot. If I had fired what it was doing there. In fact, I called police and they took me from there to Lahore. My family was with me, my children were with me. Had my children were not with me, how dare they could have stopped me."

"I will take revenge from Imran Khan. I will file a case of harassment against him," he said.

On the issue, the regional police officer (RPO) Sheikhupura said they would thoroughly investigate the matter and take action against whoever was found responsible.

Imran was in Okara for a rally on Sunday. Okara is at a distance of about 50 kilometres from Pattoki where Ali Musa said his vehicle was hit.
