Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) president and former prime minister Chaudhry Shujat Hussain  has said the politicians must forge unity against the external conspiracies being hatched against the country.

Talking to the media on Monday, the former prime minister said that elections must not be fought on the basis of personality cults as it would create chaos in the country.

Flanked by former deputy prime minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, former federal minister Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, Moonis Elahi, Shafay Hussain, Hussain Elahi and others, Shujaat country’s security should be foremost priority of all politicians and they must shun their differences and forge unity.

To a question, he held previous Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led government responsible for rupee depreciation and prolonged power outages. He said that the PML-N won’t come into power again as it had failed to keep its promise of ending load shedding. He said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was busy criticising institutions, while his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif was trying to appease them through backdoor channels.

He said that people won’t vote for the PML-N as they could not deliver.

Earlier, Ch Shujaat Hussain, Ch Pervaiz Elahi and others offered Eid prayers in Gujrat and visited graves of their elders, including Ch Zahoor Elahi Shaheed and late Ch Manzoor Elahi. A large number of party workers were also present on the occasion.
