Shujaat Hussain and Moonis Elahi meets Musharraf, moots merger of PML groups

Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Husain and Moonis Elahi called on former president and APML chief retired Gen Pervez Musharraf in Dubai on Sun­day and discussed with him matters relating to formation of a new party, to be known as ‘United Muslim League’.

“Chaudhry Shujaat and Moonis Elahi have held an important meeting with Gen Musharraf for bringing all Muslim League factions (minus N) under one umbrella. The Chaudhrys have renewed efforts since they feel this is the right time to enter the political arena with a new party in the presence of the PML-N, PTI and PPP,” a PML-Q leader privy to the development told Dawn.

He said the PML-Q believed that there had been a political vacuum, especially in Punjab, and the new party could make its mark in the run-up to the 2018 elections. “The United Muslim League will not only take on board disgruntled leaders of other parties but will also be in position to make seat-adjustment with like-minded parties in the coming elections,” he said, claiming that the effort this time would succeed.

After having a long discussion with the Chaudhrys, Gen Musharraf held a meeting with PML-Functional chief Pir Sibghatullah Rashdi to explore the idea of a “United Muslim League”, the PML-Q leader said.

“Now the Chaudhrys and Musharraf will have a series of meetings with other PML factions and some disgruntled leaders to finalise the plan,” he said.

However, according to a PML-Q spokesman, Chaudhry Shujaat said at the Dubai meeting the political situation demanded that all opposition parties gather on one platform.

“Pervez Musharraf said his heart beats for Pakistan and he wants to return home at the earliest,” he added.

The Chaudhrys had about one-and-a-half-year ago launched efforts for the United Muslim League under the leadership of Gen Musharraf and Chaudhry Shujaat, but these could not bear fruit because of a lack of consensus over leadership and some other issues.

Imran Masood, a PML-Q leader and former Punjab minister, said his party’s renewed efforts would soon bear fruit. “The PML-Q leadership has started meetings with the heads of other factions of the Muslim League and modalities in this regard will be finalised with them. We are on a mission of strengthening the PML and in the coming elections it will be in a better position to have seat-adjustment with other parties.”

Punjab government is damaging institutions meant for the welfare:Pervaiz Elahi

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said the Punjab government is damaging institutions meant for the welfare of deprived children.
Talking to a delegation on Monday, he said the self-tiled Khadim Aala of Punjab is destroying these essential institutions because they had been set up by the earlier (Q) government. This also resulted in the flight of foreign support previously guaranteed for these projects, he said. Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said that his government had established the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau in Punjab as a department in 2004.

The driving force behind this department was my personal motivation to alleviate the miseries of children begging at traffic signals and in busy squares, he said, adding from the camel children to the socially neglected young ones we had arranged accommodation, education and social support for thousands of such most neglected children of Punjab. 

He said that the department of Child Protection & Welfare Bureau was established through an Act of the Punjab Assembly. He said that under this initiative, his government had set up child protection institute, child protection units, child help line, open reception centre and special schools for these children. 

These child protection units were established at Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Rahimyar Khan and Bahawalpur. We provided shelter to more than 10,000 children separated from their loved ones. Such children also included the 2005 earthquake victims. Pervaiz Elahi accused Shahbaz Sharif government for trying its level best to destroy all such public welfare initiatives credited to Pervaiz Elahi’s earlier government of Punjab.
