Pakistan Muslim League-Q, (PML-Q) has evolved a comprehensive strategy to fight back for its political survival and strength, as the PML-N backed Unification Group is gaining unusual strength with every passing day in Punjab. Sources in the PML-Q told Business Recorder that the party leadership has evolved counter strategy for keeping the party intact and united.
'PML-Q is a reality and it would keep on playing the role of true opposition in accordance with the aspirations of public,' sources added. The PML-Q leadership has decided to raise a strong voice over policy being pursued by the US administration vis-à-vis Pakistan and also started criticising America in public gatherings. Sources claimed that the PML-Q has asked its workers to hold demonstrations in the constituencies of those party legislators who have joined the Unification Group in gross violation of the party discipline.
The PML-Q leadership will fight back and give a befitting response to those political elements, who are bent on weakening the party, the sources claimed. On the other hand, members of the Unification Group met in Lahore on Tuesday to decide about their parliamentary leader in the Punjab assembly. The Unification Group had already proved its strength and getting strength with every passing day.
This situation is also proving fatal to the political existence of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in Punjab, which is already licking to its injuries in the aftermath of March 16 PML-N-led long march, political circles believe.
Sources in the PPP told this scribe that a crucial meeting of PPP Punjab is being held at Islamabad on Wednesday in which formal decision regarding joining or sitting on opposition benches in Punjab will be taken. Sources claimed there was strong possibility that the PPP might sit on opposition benches in Punjab. Moreover, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Central Secretary General International Affairs Sheikh Kaiser Mehmood has said that PML-Q lacks both leadership and support of masses.
He said the PML-Q created by a dictator through horse trading and blackmailing was doomed to end with his removal from power. About allegations of horse trading by PML-Q leaders against PML-N, he said, "PML-Q itself was creation of horse trading, as Chaudhry brothers who claimed to be loyal to Nawaz Sharif took no time in changing their loyalties when Sharif family was passing through difficult time in the wake of removal of democratic government by military dictator in 1999."
