Mushahid urges Imran to become opposition leader
Mushahid Hussain says PML-Q would talk to the former ruling party to pave way for Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD (Online) - PML-Q Secretary General Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed, putting his weight in favour of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said that Imran should become opposition leader.
“In the given circumstances and the way the election campaign was run, I think Imran Khan is the natural choice to become the opposition leader,” Senator Mushahid said.
He said the PML-Q would talk to the former ruling party to pave way for Imran Khan.
Asked to comment on the reasons of the former ruling coalition’s defeat, Senator Mushahid said power outages and economic crises doomed them all. “It’s part of the game.
Those defeated would live to fight another day. Remember the PML-N got only 17 (NA) seats in 2002 general elections,” he added.
He advised Nawaz Sharif not to indulge in old controversies like opening a fresh inquiry into the Kargil debacle or the Mumbai attacks. “He should look forward, otherwise there would be problems for everyone,” he said.
