LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) Saturday continued consultation process within the party to chalk out future strategy vis-à-vis continuing or discontinuing support to the PTI government as an ally.
The PML-Q's central committee was held under the chairmanship of President PML-Q Punjab Ch Parvez Elahi. Among others, party's Secretary General and Federal Minister Tariq Bashir Cheema, Federal Minister for Water Resources Moonis Elahi, General Secretary PML-Q Punjab Senator Kamil Ali Agha, members of Assembly Salik Hussain, Hussain Elahi attended the meeting.
In the meeting, the present and future political situation and concerns over the attitude of the Punjab government were discussed in detail and a plan for the future was formulated, sources said.
Pervaiz Elahi has convened the party's parliamentary committee meeting on Sunday (today) to decide about parting of its ways with the PTI government, sources in the PML-Q said, adding: "A unanimous decision will be taken on Sunday (today) after consultation in the parliamentary committee meeting."
The sources claimed the PML-Q's central committee has referred the matter of supporting the government bills at the joint session of the parliament to Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
Parvez Elahi said in a statement that for the last three years, we have been taking them along with them in the federation and the province. "We are taking care of them, but they are not. The Punjab government administration is mistreating our workers in every district," he said.
General Secretary PML-Q Punjab Senator Kamil Ali Agha said that the Senate election is enough to remind the government, did they forget how they won without asking for votes, the rulers also forgot that none of their candidates came to ask for votes, yet in the most difficult election of the Senate, we got them out successfully. He said that there were many complaints from the party regarding the attitude of the Punjab government.
On the other hand, Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar said on Saturday that efforts will be made to improve working relation with allies of the government.
