N-League responsible for load shedding in Punjab

Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Senior Federal Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi have said that the PML-N was responsible for severe load shedding in Punjab. “Shahbaz Sharif sold the interest of Punjab for third time premiership for his brother Nawaz Sharif and their lust for power have thrown Punjab into dark ages,” the two leaders said while chairing a meeting of members of provincial and National Assembly from KP and FATA, district representatives of PML-Q and party workers. Adviser to Prime Minister Syed Qasim Shah presented a resolution which reposed complete faith in the leadership of Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and acknowledged that his visionary leadership brought successes to the party. The participants seconded the resolution through a show of hand and resolved to fight every intrigue and treachery to harm the party. The participants through the resolution disassociated themselves from the elements who violated the party discipline. The meeting was assured that the PML-Q would be reorganized in KP on democratic lines and party conventions would be held in all the cities of KP very soon. Shujaat said he would visit FATA to address the problem of the region and bring it into mainstream politics. He said that PML-Q was a coalition partner of the government in centre and Sindh and Balochistan and the party was contemplating joining the KP government. Parvez Elahi said the PML-Q was like a grand family where leaders and workers were respected, criticism was accepted with an open heart and valuable suggestions of the workers were incorporated in party decisions. He was of the view that former PML-Q leader Amir Muqam fell from grace and time would tell that he took a wrong turn at a critical juncture of his political career. Elahi said they should not lend ears to gossipmongers and keep a firm belief in the political acumen of the party leadership.
