LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain suspended party membership of Punjab former Chief Minister Parvez Elahi while seeking explanation from him over possibility of merger with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Mr Hussain has also served show-cause notice on Mr Elahi and sought an explanation within seven days. Notice stated that provincial President was not authorised to merge party with another party.

“Therefore, you are asked to submit your response over this unconstitutional act,” notice added.

On other hand, President also issued show-cause notices to PML-Q leaders Moonis Elahi, Hussain Elahi and PML-Q parliamentary party leader in Punjab Assembly Kamil Ali Agha. Notice stated that if they had decided to join another party, they should do this after tendering resignations otherwise, they would be de-seated.

Mr Elahi and his son Moonis Elahi had called meeting of PML-Q after PTI Chairman Imran Khan offered Elahi to join PTI.
