Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Senator Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Monday withdrew a disqualification plea filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) against Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar. Shujaat filed the petition nearly four years ago requesting the court to disqualify Mukhtar on rigging charges. Shujaat had lost the 2008 general elections to the defence minister from Gujrat. A two-member bench headed by Justice Ijazul Hassan was hearing the petition. On Monday, Shujaat’s counsel Farooq Haider told the court that his client did not want to follow the case anymore on which the court dismissed it.
