PML-Q aims to see Imran and the establishment on the same page

Before the vote on July 17, certain powerful individuals in the Chaudhrys of Gujrat camp have redoubled their attempts to build a bridge between the leader of their ally and former premier Imran Khan and the forces that be. The leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid believes it is imperative to win the majority of seats in the by-election in order to form its government in Punjab, which would ultimately pave the way for an early general election. As a result, the PML-Q is using its “good offices” to assist the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and other significant power figures in resolving their differences.

Some top PML-Q officials supporting the PTI in the Parvez Elahi camp were attempting to patch things up, according to well-placed sources who spoke to Dawn, but no progress had been made. The stakes are high for Mr. Elahi, the speaker of the Punjab Assembly, who is running for Punjab chief minister with Hamza Shehbaz of the PML-Q.

a senior party official stated We are working to ensure that PTI candidates win the by-elections, while some Q workers from Gujarat are currently campaigning for the PTI in Lahore and other areas of Punjab in accordance with the wishes of the senior party leadership.

As this is a life or death situation for us and Khan Sahib, he asserted that “other ways are also being investigated to assure PTI-Q success.”

Ijazul Haq, a prominent politician and former federal minister who recently met with Mr. Khan, Mr. Elahi, Fawad Chaudhry, and Sheikh Rashid, had previously acknowledged that they had been working to improve Mr. Khan’s relationship with the establishment.

The PML-Q leader revealed that new initiatives have been started in this direction. Khan has been ordered to avoid referring to the army leader in a veiled manner. In the Gen. Musharraf administration from 2002 to 2007, Mr. Elahi, served as chief minister of the Punjab province, said “always takes delight in supporting the regime.”
