In greater national interest: Shujaat urged to contest by-polls

Former MNA Mumtaz Tamman urges PML-Q leader to contest in by-elections

Former MNA Sardar Mumtaz Tamman has urged Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-i-Azam (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain to contest NA-65 Talagang by-election in his place. In the general election Chaudhry Parvaiz Elahi was elected on this seat and as per accord Tamman was to contest on the seat vacated by him but he has nominated Shujaat. During a meeting with Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Parvaiz Elahi along with his close colleagues on Saturday, he emphasised that in the prevailing national circumstances it was necessary that Shujaat should go to the National Assembly because he would greatly help in minimising the difficulties of the country and the government through understanding with the opposition. Lauding Tamman, Chaudhry Parvaiz Elahi said he has upheld the glorious traditions of his family for the sake of the country and the nation. On this occasion MPA-elect Hafiz Ammar Yasir, Salik Hussain, Rasikh Elahi, Malik Muhammad Amir Khan Tamman, Haji Riaz Awan, Haji Malik Qutub Khan and Shaikh Saeed were also present.
