PML-Q ‘suspends’ CM Elahi’s basic membership for PTI merger talks. Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Monday suspended the party membership of Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Parvez Elahi while seeking explanation on his announcement of merging the party with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Mr Elahi was served with a show-cause notice by the president and a reply was sought within seven days. The notice stated that a provincial president was not authorized to merge the party with another party. “Therefore, you are asked to submit your response over this unconstitutional act”, the notice added.
