ISLAMABAD: Following the footprints of PML-N, JUI-F and MQM, the
ministers and members of the PML-Q submitted their resignations to
party President Chaudary Shujaat citing that the government had failed
to resolve the issues of the masses.
The resignations were
presented to Chaudary Shujaat Hussain during the parliamentary party
session held here on Tuesday. They also decided to boycott the
parliament’s session until allotment of seats on opposition benches.
Highlighting
the government’s inefficiency, the ministers maintained that they could
not continue to work with a government that does not fulfill its
commitments.
The ministers who have submitted their resignation
include Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, Ghaus Bukhsh Meher, Faisal Saleh Hayat,
Ameer Muqaam, Reyaz Pirzada, Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, Waqas Akram and
Shah Jahan Yousuf.
The leaders also criticized the Federal
government and said that they would quit the alliance if needed. The
party leaders have submitted the resignation, but the final decision to
withdraw from the governing coalition rests with the leaders of the
party.
Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed of the PML-Q said that the
government should come up with a strong policy and should clear out the
allegations made by the US on Pakistan.
Reliable sources told
Online that Chaudary Brothers had tried to convince the annoyed
parliamentarians saying that they would discuss their reservations with
the parliament but to no avail. The federal ministers and members were
of the view that they were facing embarrassment before the masses
particularly in their respective constituencies for joining hands with
the government.
Federal Minister Riaz Hussain Pirzada while
speaking to Online said that they joined hands with the government to
serve the masses; however, the PPP only doubled the miseries of already
hapless masses. He further stated that they could not work together
anymore.
Meanwhile, Chaudary Shujaat Hussain and Chaudary
Pervez Elahi while addressing the parliamentary party meeting said that
the single party could not pull out the country from severe crises
particularly the energy crises. They urged the need of a national
agenda to resolve the problems being faced by the country. The meeting
also reviewed the ongoing parliamentary business on which Chaudary
Brothers proposed the government to review the annual development plan
in the head of energy crises. The party president directed all the
members to carry out every possible help for the flood-affected areas. Online
