PML-Q sets conditions for power-sharing deal with PPP in Punjab

Lahore, Feb. 5 : The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) has set several conditions for a possible alliance with the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in Punjab, a private TV channel has claimed.

The channel quoted a close aide of PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain as saying that the party had set certain terms for a possible power-sharing deal with the PPP, including dissolution of the Punjab Government.

PML-Q Punjab President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said his party would decide whether to support the PPP or the PML-N on the basis of the Supreme Court's verdict in the eligibility case of PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

Elahi confirmed talks between the PPP and the PML-Q, and termed PML-N's recent behaviour as `arrogant'.

Separately, Shujaat denied reports of his meeting with Nawaz Sharif in London, while adding that he would not approach anyone for the unification of the PML.

Meanwhile, PML-N Information Secretary Ahsan Iqbal claimed that his party had the numerical strength to prevent any `misadventure' against the Punjab government. He said his party enjoyed a majority in the Punjab Assembly even without the PPP. (ANI)
