LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) president and former prime minister Ch Shujaat Hussain has said shutting mouth of those hurling abuses is not difficult work, country cannot withstand politics of clash with institutions, our party was strong yesterday and future also belongs to it.

He was speaking on the occasion of former MNA from Kohistan Mehboobullah Jan along with his colleagues joining the PML-Q and talking to the media in Islamabad on Tuesday. He nominated Mehboobullah Jan as PML Khyber Pakhtunkhwa president and hoped that he will play his role in activating the party in the province at all levels.

On this occasion, Ch Pervaiz Elahi, Tariq Bashir Cheema, Ajmal Khan Wazir, Basharat Raja and other leaders were present. Ch Shujaat Hussain said: “Only our party is registered as Pakistan Muslim League with Election Commission of Pakistan which says its own talk, we do not believe in politics of hurling abuses or clash with institutions.”

He said Pakistan foreign policy has failed, in Saudi Arabia US President did meet Afghan President but held no meeting with Prime Minister of Pakistan because of which country was insulted. If I was in place of Nawaz Sharif I would have returned, he added.

On this occasion, Mehboobullah Jan expressing confidence in the leadership of Ch Shujaat Hussain and Ch Pervaiz Elahi said he will play his role in strengthening the party whereas Tariq Bashir Cheema said religious services of Shujaat Hussain and Ch Pervaiz Elahi are also very important and Ch Zahoor Elahi Shaheed was first to move motion in the National Assembly in 1973 against Qadiyanis.

Ch Shujaat Hussain in his address said Pak Army is offering sacrifices in the war against internal and external enemies of the country and condemned any campaign to tarnish the image of the army, adding: “Modi is committing massacre of Muslim women, children and youth in Occupied Kashmir and admitting breaking of Pakistan in 1971, committing interference in Balochistan but Nawaz Sharif allegedly did not bother to say a single word against even till today, he has never mentioned name of Kulbhushan, in the United Nations on his speech Modi had said that this speech was not of Nawaz Sharif but of someone else, even on this Nawaz Sharif had not given shut up call to Modi and instead of strengthening this stance of Modi concocted such a baseless story against the army and leaked it which strengthened Indian stance against the army, Nawaz Sharif says that whenever he becomes the prime minister someone playing dugduggi against him surfaces, it is not known towards whom he is hinting but this time this dugduggi has been played by Panama Leaks, opposition had only put its bell around his neck which is ringing.”

Ch Shujaat Hussain said Shahbaz Sharif is saying that if one allegation of corruption against him is proved he will quit politics but the way billions of rupees commission has been eaten in fake power plants, jangla bus and orange line projects corruption is a very small word for it, jangla bus has been made on double cost as compared to other countries, orange line was being constructed during our tenure on procuring loan at 0.25 per cent mark up and now being made on loan at 3.25 per cent markup, this additional money is going in whose pocket, even after Supreme Court verdict with which face Nawaz Sharif claims that his hands are clean. The PML-Q said Pakistan is passing through the process of change presently. Pakistan Muslim League-Q is examining it from every point of view and whatever circumstance there would be in future also, your leadership ad party is fully prepared to play its role, he added.
