Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has claimed to have played an “important role” in reducing tensions between the government and judiciary. Addressing a press conference at a local hotel on Sunday, Shujaat hinted that the PML-Q could enter into alliance with any political party for Senate elections in March. He said the party’s provincial leadership would decide candidates for the Senate elections. PML-Q Secretary General Mushahid Hussain, provincial ministers Mir Asim Kurd and Jaffar Khan Mandokhel, and several other party leaders were also present on the occasion. Answering a question about the recent meeting between Mandokhel and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, he said there was no ban on his party members for holding meetings with the leadership of other parties. Mushahid said the purpose of their Balochistan visit was to hold meetings with the members of the party’s parliamentary board regarding Senate elections.
