The two leaders agreed that it was not time to form a concrete alliance but they will to work together for the people.

Express December 25, 2010

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League Quaid-i-Azam (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Shujaat and Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf Chief Imran Khan on Saturday vowed to work together for a better Pakistan.

Shujaat called on Khan at his residence in Lahore where the two leaders decided to devise a joint strategy to resolve all issues confronting the country.

ABDULLAH K.T. | 13 years ago | Reply i m r an k h a n teherik e insaf reply to the innocent members/workers prime minister jilani was running around when jui and mqm distanced them self from the coalition and announced would sit on the opposition benches, till their demands on inflation and the gasoline prices are reversed. minister of jui was sacked and there were multiple differences on the school of thoughts they belonged. then why did jilani ran seeking support to save his govt, what should the members of people’s party think "ppp" regarding jilani?? is he betraying his party or the party itself betraying itself??? is that what the members and worker should think about him or the party??? if imran khan meets the poliitician of the country, why do you people take it as a wrong notion or point a finger at him, he is a good politician and he has every right to meet and listen to them or their point, of their agenda/s exchange views how to improve economic detiorating condition, eradicate corruption from the country, for the benefit of the pakistani nation exchange views on our foreign policy. there is no harm in meeting and listening. imran khan did not committed any commitment, signed any agreement against the aims and objects, manifesto or the policiy of pti or the pakistani nation, so meeting with the politician does not mean that he is going against the constitution of "teherek e insaf " without consulting/consultation wth the central executive committee of the "pti" without reporting of the meeting with the party who he met, he does not take any personal decision

Omar | 13 years ago | Reply Oh the irony! Is Imran getting cozy to the same Pro-Musharraf party that had him arrested at UniV of Punjab? The sad tragedy of pakistani politics never stops!

Yasir | 13 years ago | Reply Hi Everyone, whats wrong in meeting Shujjat ? Imran didn't commit anything , just a normal meeting among politiions in series of Shujjat's meeting with most Politions after JUI seperation from GOVT. Q league is just trying to get leverage and want to prove that they are in opposition and trying to gether all political parties. JUST PRESSURE TECTICS , May be to get any benfit from PPP or just to realize them not to open more NAB cases :) We do not need to worry about Imran, he is above these minor things and if any one wants to meet him it doesn't mean that he is having any merger with him.

Afzal Rahim Khan Yusufzai | 13 years ago | Reply Im shocked over this development. As a die hard supporter of Imran Khan I wonder the same Chaudhry who was target of 2007's election has now been contacted??

The Only Normal Person Here. | 13 years ago | Reply Never happening... just another small version of APC

wahab | 13 years ago | Reply alliances makes parties grow.. PTI is certainly going in the right direction. Imran should meet all leaders to come in the mainstream.

Waqas Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply I don't think Imran khan said that the both parties would work together, it was just that chaudry shujaat wanted to meet him to put pressure on sharifs and I don't see PTI forming an alliance with Q league ever or any other party present in the parliament for that matter.

HA | 13 years ago | Reply What has gone wrong with Mr. Khan? How can you appear with the Chaudhry's; the true disciples of Mush!!!!

Erfan | 13 years ago | Reply Lol @ Ahmad Burger class is confused.

Usman Wayien | 13 years ago | Reply I hope Imran Khan also embraces MQM in the lerger interest of Pakistani people.

faisal chattha | 13 years ago | Reply first of all it is ch shujaat who went to see imran khan. so political leaders meet each other. second imran khan has not decided yet either we will have coalition with them or not. it was just a meeting. and if ch shujaat accept the pti' s agenda and come under pti flag, i think it is nothing wrong with that. pti worker

Nadeem Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply Its quality of our great Khan that he makes a bad move at the right time. He won't win his own seat in next election.

Ilyas | 13 years ago | Reply Musharraf and only Musharraf.

dr Kamran Baluch | 13 years ago | Reply haha.. someone said, at least NS is a democratic leader, and he fought againts dictatorship... ha ha .... when was that??? ;-) , he leads a political party, which is named after him...a little bit too democratic, i should say...

mohammed+abbasi | 13 years ago | Reply wow they are to resolve all issues confronting the country!

irshad salim | 13 years ago | Reply i agree with sohail ahmed.. imran khan should remain aloof and i strongly believe that alone will propel his success, bcoz his growing power base is the pakistani youth who are understandably binary in vision - good or bad - not grey like our older generation....

Ahmad Sheikh | 13 years ago | Reply King Khan has taken a step in the right direction! He is undoubtedly one of the most upright people in the political arena of Pakistan; a national hero who has given back to the community; one of the few with no taint of corruption. If Khan is to choose alliance partners, the Chaudhries are undoubtedly the best option. They may have sided with dictatorship but who hasn't in the cesspool of Pak politics? Punjab was undeniably better managed and saw more prosperity under Pervaiz Elahi then the now half mad younger Sharif (see his Najm Sethi interview as proof). The PPP has left no room for anyone else on the corruption index-even though there has never been any proof of allegations against the Chaudhries (case in point-Hamesh Khan-what happened to the Sharif rhetoric? He's been back for months and nothing has come out of it)They have, however, got a proven track record in forming political alliances and good governance. Good choice King Khan! Finally, a step in the right direction!. .

faraz | 13 years ago | Reply PTI competes with PML-N in upper Punjab. PTI has no chance in Karachi, Interior Sindh, Balochistan, Central or Southern Punjab. He can only win seats in the cities along the GT Road or perhaps KP. He must form a practical poliitcal strategy to win seats. For example in Lahore, he should gather support from PPP, PML-Q and other leftist parties against PML N. Each party on its own, stand little chance against PML-N.

ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply i dont know why the burger class hates Imran Khan

Fareedi | 13 years ago | Reply They have nothing in common. It shall be a sad day for Imran's supporters if they actually join hands. Khan should build his party and develop a second tier leadership. He needs to develop trust and respect of and for his party workersHe should distance himself from all those oldies who have sucked upon the Caracas of this unfortunate country... Khan we had higher hopes of you. Don't disappoint us!

Faisal | 13 years ago | Reply Please don’t forget that Ch. Shujaat came to Khaan’s home….As a muslim we respect our guests…….So we have to see it closely…i know khaan will soon come out with explaination…INSHALLAH

Amna | 13 years ago | Reply @sohail ahmad: They have agreed not to make an alliance. I don't see how this goes against anything Imran has stood for...Chaudhary Shujaat called upon Khan saab and he agreed to work together. Amazing how everyone thinks this is some major hypocrisy.....nothing more than all our other leaders. Altaf Hussain has been calling up all leaders all over...

khan | 13 years ago | Reply sohail ahmad@ dont be fool some times u have to join them to get the power ,other wise he cant become the leader , Poltics dear understand.

sohail ahmad | 13 years ago | Reply if this is the case i am going to leave the party membership- Imran is going in wrong direction -

Imtiaz ahmed Ansari | 13 years ago | Reply It was amazing to see both of them together because once they strongly opposed each other.

True+Pakistani | 13 years ago | Reply good news.the senior chaudhrey seems a good guy.

User | 13 years ago | Reply one day you criticize and the other day you hug -- I fail to understand this?

Majid Maqsood | 13 years ago | Reply It is unbelievable that Imran Khan joins hand with Choudry Sujjad who has been great supporter of baddest dictator of country. it seems he understands now politics and doing same things like our traditional politicians do and he has nothing new for the people of this country. He now understands one cant rule without the supports of these opportunists. Why Mr Imran Khan does not join hands with Nawaz Sharif because he is at least democratic leader and he fought against dictatorship? Today whatever we face, it is credit of Musharraf because he is somebody who promoted and projected terrorism in country with the help of these choudries and it is so surprising, Mr. Imran Khan has joined hand with Choudries, what a hypocrisy!

faraz | 13 years ago | Reply Atleast PTI is moving towards some practical politics. I am fed up of his hollow rhetotic and immature analysis on talk shows.

uzair | 13 years ago | Reply tanga parties meeting---- good for democracy
