“Musharraf’s tenure was a golden period in the history of Pakistan,” Qadri issued a potential overture on Wednesday, while addressing the media at a party member’s residence.
Praising the former president’s tenure, Qadri added that Pakistan was a prosperous country during Musharraf’s tenure and that the PST might consider an alliance with his party, APML. A final decision in this regard will be taken by PST’s executive council.
Responding to a question regarding a coalition with the PTI, Qadri answered diplomatically, saying PTI chief Imran Khan had raised the same demands as they had, however change of faces was not in Pakistan’s interest. Instead, Qadri said, the people will have to change the system, without getting influenced by histrionics.
He further said that a change of faces would just worsen the situation, adding that people will see a change in system when the PST will come into power.
PST had announced in January that they were contemplating an alliance with the PTI. They even sought PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s guidance in this regard.
Speaking on the recent amendments and resolutions introduced in the parliament, the PST chief said that they had been introduced to safe guard against vested interests and corruption.
Qadri reminded people that the PST would officially launch itself as a political party at a gathering in Lahore on March 23.
With a buzz of general elections in the air, Qadri said, “We demand an independent election commission and no bogus votes in the voters list.”
Commenting on the recent talks between Pakistan and the US on resuming Nato supplies and stopping drone attacks, he said that these matters should be resolved according to the resolutions passed in the Parliament.

we love to our leader Sarwat Ijaz Qadri.We have leave our party PMLN due to the love with Sarwat Ijaz Qadri and PST.
Poor decision by PST.Hopefully it will not be act upon.
Sarwat Qadri saab is a very intelligent man
SHAH AWAIS NOORANI is a very intelligent man
Sarwat Qadri saab is a very intelligent man, we APMLIANS as well as Musharraf saab also supported Peaceful political parties, & did alot for the Sunni organizations, so its a natural alliance. We warm welcome PST. & hope that this alliance will continue in all situations.....Long Live Musharraf, Long Live Sarwat Ejaz
To moderator : kindly put a not recommended tab as well for comments. Just have recommended is not only bias the doesn't convey the true representation of people choice
Very well good move indeed
@Sajid...For God sake, If you don't have actual points, avoid blabbering false statements atleast....PTI is for all the Pakistanis...forget wahabis, shias, hindus, christians etc etc...
excellent decision .....WELCOME BROTHERS ...
No political party shall be one the name of sect, ethnicity etc.
This story is one political non-entity allying itself with another political non-entity. Kinda makes you wonder what both parties are thinking....misery loves company?
why "SUNNI" ? Have they gone crazy...Being a religious organisation is OK, but any sectarian group should not be allowed to be a POLITICAL party...
Being a patriot political religious organization, Sunni Tehreek will cooperate with all those who want to do something better for Pakistan.
Simple. PTI is pro-Wahabi and PST won't get along with TTPTI.
Praise for Musharraf is interesting coming from a religious party...however, with Musharraf himself in trouble, how likely is that APML will be able to take off...in that case, it might be a better idea to go for a safer alliance
