LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: Speaker of Punjab Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid leader Chaudhary Pervez Elahi has claimed that several new characters are going to take over in the upcoming political season while some characters would be replaced.
Talking to media persons in Lahore today, Chaudhary Pervez Elahi predicted that a change was imminent. “Several actors are going to be replaced and some new characters would be introduced in the upcoming season,” he said.
Elahi’s PML-Q is part of the ruling coalition under the PTI and it is poised to make a decision on supporting the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan.
PML(Q) leader said the food in the political cooking pot was ready now and it was being distributed, adding half of the food has already been distributed.
At the beginning of March, Elahi had said that several ingredients had gone into “a big cooking pot on the stove” and he will be able to predict something once smoke rises after the first boil. Shortly after his remarks, the opposition submitted a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan with the National Assembly secretariat on March 8.
Responding to a question about public rallies being held by PML-N and PTI, the Punjab Assembly speaker said that if governments could be toppled using rallies and public gatherings, a hundred of governments would have been dislodged by now.
Elahi also said that no one should use religion for political gains and people who do so will soon be left with a “fungus.”
Prime Minister Imran Khan has lately been using the religious dictum of “enjoin the good and forbid the evil” to invite supporters to his March 27 rally. He has also repeatedly said that Allah forbids people to be neutral in a war between good and evil.
Pervaiz Elahi, however, also took a dig at the PML-N by saying that a patient who was residing outside the country had not yet received a medicine to suit his disposition— in an apparent reference to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, who left the country in 2019 to seek medical treatment in London.
Elahi said PML-Q has always indulged in clean and fair politics.
