LAHORE: Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) senior leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has reportedly suggested to PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi a delay in the long march towards Islamabad.
The suggestion from PML-Q to PTI came during a meeting between PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi held here in Lahore the other day.
Qureshi’s son Zain Qureshi and former federal minister Moonis Elahi were also present on the occasion. Both the leaders discussed the current political situation in the country and matters of mutual interest, including the PTI’s movement against the government.
According to a private TV channel, quoting sources, Pervaiz Elahi advised Qureshi to delay the long march by a month. “PTI should avoid holding an immediate long march towards,” Elahi was quoted as saying.
Pervaiz Elahi while speaking during the meeting said that Imran Khan is fighting for a real independence and he would stand with him in this fight. Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that their struggle would continue unless fresh elections in the country are announced. “Imran Khan only wants a fresh election,” he said and added that they would continue their fight against a corruption and looting spree in the country.
