emerged<\/a> that PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, who had helped the PML-N-led coalition in ousting ex-premier Imran Khan in 2022, was accommodated by the PML-N with just four seats, two each for the National and Punjab assemblies.<\/p>\nThe PML-N left NA-64 and PP-31 Gujrat open for Salik and Shafey, sons of Shujaat Hussain. It had also refused to oblige PML-Q\u2019s Wajahat Hussain and his son Musa Elahi on National Assembly seats in Gujrat.<\/p>\n
The Istehkam-i-Pakistan Party (IPP), home for PTI deserters, also faced a setback as the PML-N allocated them only a limited number of seats for the next month\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n
An official statement released by the PML-Q today, said that Shujaat had chaired an emergency meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PML-Q has always played a role in the development and prosperity of Pakistan and its people and will continue to do so,\u201d the party said. It alleged that the PML-N had issued tickets to candidates competing against PML-Q\u2019s candidates.<\/p>\n
It said that as a result, the party had decided that it would not allow its candidates to fall victim to such \u201cdouble standards\u201d and will not \u201cgo for seat adjustment with the PML-N\u201d.<\/p>\n
The statement quoted Shujaat\u2019s son Salik as saying that the PML-N should issue tickets to its candidates from Gujrat \u2014 which is considered a PML-Q stronghold \u2014 against him and his brother.<\/p>\n
He asserted that the PML-Q\u2019s candidates stood with the party, adding that the party would stand with them if the PML-N chose to compete against them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to compete without any seat adjustment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
