Islamabad (Web Desk): Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Tuesday said that his family and party are on the 'same page' and all political decisions are taken with consultation, so the rumours that were being spread were wrong.
"All decisions in the party or at home are made with my consultation and consent. I do not believe in explanation. I would like to say that I am considered the head of the family," The PML-Q supremo said in a statement.
The PML-Q president further said, “I have been told that there are differences in our family. There is no truth in this. Our family has been spread in all districts of Pakistan, not just Punjab for 50 years,” he said.
He said that decisions were made with his consent. Those who want to gain political advantage by propagating differences would be disappointed, he said.
As per the reports, the Chaudhry family held meetings yesterday until late at night after the controversy. Tariq Bahir Cheema had stated that he resigned with the approval of the party president and will not vote in favour of Imran Khan in the no-trust motion.
Out of the total five seats in the National Assembly, including three from the family, four PML-Q MNAs are inclined to support Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) while Cheema wants to support the Opposition.
