ISLAMABAD: The General Council of Pakistan Muslim League-Q on Friday re-elected Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain as president for the next four years. He did not attend the meeting as he is currently abroad for medical treatment.

The PML general council comprised of members from all the four provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Fata and Gilgit Baltistan.  “To save Pakistan and army from the present rulers, all opposition parties should support Imran Khan,” said newly- elected PML-Q Punjab
 President and former Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhry Pervez Elahi while addressing the PML-Q general council meeting which re-elected Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain as party President for next four years.

Chaudhry Pervez Elahi said it is a matter of concern that the rulers were speaking on the tune of Indian PM Modi and other Pakistan’s enemy. “The government has made mistake with not accepting the ToRs on PanamaLeaks of opposition and now the things are going out of their control and now PanamaLeaks case has gone somewhere else,” he added.

Expressing gratitude to the General Council members, he said that Balochistan has always held flag of Pakistan and Muslim League. He paid glowing tributes to active workers, leaders, particularly lawyers wing for their services to the party. 

Chaudhry Parvez Elahi said that Imran Khan presently playing a very important role; opposition parties and Imran Khan together should save the nation and poor from N-League's oppression. 

He said Balochistan is very dear to us. The Pakistan Muslim League is a popular party of all four provinces. Whether it is PanamaLeaks or any other national issue, our party has always played positive role and opposed the government openly. It is a matter of great regret that N-League is getting published false news against  army.

 He said even the Supreme Court has now said there is no democracy but monarchy in the country; elder brother talks about construction of hospitals and younger brother talks about leasing out hospitals on contract; education is not spread merely through distribution of lap tops. By closing 10,000 schools in the Punjab, the government has even snatched the right of education from children of poor people; Orange Train, Jangla bus are dollars making projects while younger brother says prove his corruption. They will not escape the grip of Almighty Allah, people remember Model Town tragedy even today.

He greatly appreciated the meritorious services for the party of elderly politician and former Federal Minister Anwar Ali Cheema. On this occasion, Senator Kamil Ali Agha, Muhammad Basharat Raja, Ch Zaheeruddin, Naseer Mengal, Sardar Abdul Razzaq, Dr Raj Shaheen, Mian Imran Masood, Syed Mahmud Hashmi, Dr Azeemuddin Lakhvi, Imtiaz Ranjha and Ghulam Mustafa Malik presented resolutions. Under these resolutions, Ch Shujat Hussain was conferred with all powers of the Executive Committee under Article 52 of the Constitution.
