PML-Q withdraws candidate in JI’s favour

LAHORE, Feb 28: The Pakistan Muslim League-Q and the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) have decided to go together on national issues and, as a sign of this unanimity, the QLeague has withdrawn its nominee for NA-123 by-polls in favour of JI’s Hafiz Salman Butt.

A decision to the effect was taken in a meeting between leaders of both the parties.

The PML-Q side was led by former chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Zaheeruddin, Moonis Elahi and Senator Kamil Ali Agha while Liaquat Baloch, Dr Waseem Akhtar, Amirul Azeem and Butt represented the JI.

Exchanging views on various national issues, including by-polls in NA-123, both the sides decided to adopt a joint line of action in future “in the larger interest of the masses”.

Keeping in view seniority of Butt, the PML-Q decided to withdraw its candidate Tahir Siddiq from the constituency.

A meeting of the elders of both the parties would be held at Muslim League House on Tuesday (tomorrow) to take into confidence workers of the PML-Q.
