In a significant development, leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, led by Ch Shujaat Hussain, engaged in an almost three-hour-long meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf President Chaudhry Pervez Elahi at Adiala Jail on Thursday.
Ch Shujaat Hussain, along with other PML-Q leaders including Ch Wajahat, Ch Salik, Ch Shafi, and Mantaha Ashraf, convened at Adiala Jail for discussions with Elahi.
The meeting, held in the conference room of Adiala Jail, covered a range of topics, including the overall political situation in the country and family matters. Sources indicate that discussions also touched upon Ch Pervez Elahi’s health and the facilities available to him in prison.
After two hours and forty minutes of discussions, the members of the Chaudhry family from Gujrat left Adiala Jail for Islamabad without engaging in any media talk. The discreet nature of their departure adds an air of mystery to the deliberations that took place behind closed doors.
The meeting is part of the ongoing political maneuvering among major players in the country. Both PML-N and PTI have announced their prime ministerial candidates and are actively engaging with other political entities, including the Pakistan People’s Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan, JUI-F, and Ch Shujaat’s PML-Q, to garner support for forming governments at the Centre and in Punjab.
