ISLAMABAD - An overwhelming majority of PML-Q leaders and lawmakers are unhappy over Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s growing relations with PPP top brass and any power sharing deal between both parties in future is most likely to give rise to another noisy revolt in the party ranks.
“The majority of PML-Q parliamentarians seek the unification of PML factions and at more than numerous times have conveyed their heart feeling to party’s central command”, said a PML-Q MNA seeking not to be attributed. He noted that the efforts of Ch Pervaiz Elahi to forge an alliance with PPP in the Punjab as well as at the Centre would ignite another rebellion within fragile political entity.
He said that old Leaguers had the firm opinion that PML-Q could not go along PPP, as there was remarkable difference of ideology between the two political parties. “Most of the party workers and leaders want to return to mother party and hence have no tilt towards PPP for momentary political gains”, he added.
Some stalwart party leaders including Ameer Muqam, Senator Salim Saifullah, Senator Muhammad Ali Durrani and others have started endorsing openly the initiative of PML factions’ unification. Sources within Q-League told this scribe that party president, Ch Shujaat Hussain and secretary general, Mushahid Hussain Sayed were also favouring the close coordination between PML-N and ‘Q’.
“PML-Q president has a very noticeable tilt towards PML-N but he does not endorse the idea of merger between PML-Q and ‘N’. Shujaat supports the proposal of forging an alliance between PML factions as it would not kill the separate identity of Q-League”, said the sources. As per sources, the reports of Ch Pervaiz Elahi’s meeting with PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif in Dubai that were refuted later on by both the parties’ leaders, had sent the waves of satisfaction among PML-Q leaders.
