ISLAMABAD – The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid central command on Tuesday decided to gear up efforts to develop a grand anti-PML-N alliance with likeminded parties in order to defame and isolate the Sharifs. This was decided in a PML-Q consultation meeting under party leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain.
A source said the Chaudhrys told their comrades that the party had developed cordial relations with Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and even Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), as they all did not like the PML-N.
“Shujaat Hussain told party lawmakers that the PPP was constantly offering the PML-Q to join coalition government at the Centre and form an alliance in Punjab,” said the source. The source said the PML-Q leaders decided that the party would strengthen its relations with the PPP, MQM, JUI-F, JI and PTI and others to raise a unified voice against the PML-N, which according to them, was already facing isolation in country’s political arena due to its leadership’s arrogant approach.
The source added that a majority of PML-Q leaders advised the Chaudhrys to avail the God sent opportunity to defame the PML-N leadership and expose them by telling the people at every available forum that the Sharifs had no principle and morality.
The PML-Q leadership decided to launch an aggressive anti-Sharifs campaign on the grounds of the PML-N’s patronage to PML-Q turncoats in Punjab. The PML-Q leadership also decided that party’s leaders would question the PML-N’s claims of the politics of ethics, morality and principles at every forum.
