As expected, Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) are bracing to contest Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain’s letter on the ground that they are only bound by the party line as conveyed by their parliamentary leader.
Moonis Elahi, who conceded defeat barely an hour ago, has now said PML-Q parliamentary party meeting last night headed by its Parliamentary leader Sajid Bhatti decided to back Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, and therefore is not bound by Hussain’s letter.
Analysts say Article 63A(b) of the Constitution, clearly mentions party leader, and that the Constitution does not recognize parliamentary leader in any way.
PTI is said to have aired a call for its workers to immediately reach outside Punjab Assembly.
