ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Minister for Federal education and Professional Training Shafqat Mahmood met Punjab Assembly Speaker and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi on Monday to remove his party’s reservations.

Shafqat Mahmood and Pervaiz Elahi deliberated on the problems that PML-Q is facing concerning its alliance with the incumbent party. 

The development occurred as details of the written contract between the federal government and PML-Q came forth according to which two ministries each were to be given to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s ally in Punjab and federation.

Furthermore, PML-Q would have gotten representation at district level and in different departments under the signed power-sharing formula. Other points include consultations between PTI and PML-Q over day-to-day affairs and policy making.

Empowering the PML-Q members regarding matters of development funds and solving public issues was also part of the deal but the government failed to fulfill its promises.

Pakistan Muslim League-Q Senator Kamil Ali Agha told that PML-Q leadership will hold meeting after every four to five days till matters will the incumbent government are solved. He told that we have clarified PTI that PML-Q does not want another federal ministry.

He affirmed that a negative propaganda is being run against PML-Q Member National Assembly (MNA) Moonis Elahi regarding ministry and to create differences among the party.

Kamil Ali Agha said PML-Q ministers do not have any authority in Punjab and complained that secretaries are changed after every three months without informing.
