Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PMLQ) President and former prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has said that the current election was like a referendum in which people openly expressed themselves.

The people have rejected anti-country elements and have lauded the services of Army jawans and police officials deployed on election duty.

Talking to the media in Gujrat on Thursday, he further said that after the election, it is apprehended that very bad circumstances will come and for this all parties will have to work together.

Replying to a question, he said if the All Parties Conference is to be convened for the person of Nawaz Sharif then it will not be of any benefit. All parties should gather together for the interest of the country.

He said that election results have come right and those indulging in negative propaganda are bound to fail. People have voted for a better future of the country and strong and prosperous Pakistan. PMLQ will go with those taking the country in the right direction and not with any person.

Paying tributes to the Army and martyred police officials while performing election duty, PMLQ Leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said that the entire country will always remain united to defeat enemy forces. Addressing a big gathering of those coming to felicitate, he said that our opponents said all sorts of things but we have emerged victorious on four seats from Gujrat.

In his address, PMLQ’s Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said that “we have been blessed with success by the grace of Allah. We heartily express gratitude to all voters and workers. After the martyrdom of Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi, the people of Gujrat supported us and pray for us”.

On this occasion, Shafay Hussain, Mian Imran Masood, Mian Haroon Masood, Chaudhry Ejaz, Chaudhry Azhar and Chaudhry Mazhar Iqbal were among the PMLQ leaders who were present in large number.
