LAHORE, March 11: The PML-Q, an important ally of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government, has asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to announce Chaudhry Parvez Elahi the replacement of Chief Minister Usman Buzdar before calling the session of the National Assembly to take up the opposition’s no-trust motion.
“The PML-Q leadership has conveyed to PM Khan to announce Punjab Assembly Speaker Parvez Elahi as CM Punjab forthwith as this will help save the PTI government in Punjab in the face of ‘rebellion’ by the Tareen group.
Also the PML-Q will announce its open support for the premier and use its clout to scuttle the opposition’s move in the Centre,” a source privy to the development told Dawn on Thursday.
“The PML-Q has been given the assurance by the PTI leadership that once it manages to defeat the joint opposition, it will announce Mr Elahi for the top slot in Punjab. But the PML-Q leadership is casting doubt on the promise as in the past it didn’t have a pleasant experience in this respect,” he said, adding earlier the PTI leadership backed out of its some promises with the Chaudhrys of Gujrat.-NNI
