Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) leader and Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on Tuesday said his party’s support for Tahirul Qadri, chief of Tehrik Minhajul Quran, did not imply that the PML-Q was parting ways with the Pakistan People’s Party-led coalition government at the centre.
Speaking to media representatives, Elahi said that his party will contest the next general elections on the basis of seat adjustment with the PPP. Dialogue with other parties are also underway for the seat adjustment.
The PML-Q leader said talks with the Tehrik Minhajul Quran chief should not be treated unusually, adding that Qadri’s movement was aimed at eliminating corruption and was not opposed to democracy.
Elahi moreover said a province could not be run through offering subsidies to the public.
He added that the Punjab government was spending the province’s education budget on unnecessary projects, adding that the rapid bus service project for Lahore had led to increased troubles in terms of the city’s traffic management.
