Moonis Elahi Blog News: PPP, PML-Q Finalise Power-Sharing Deal
LAHORE: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) have finalised a power-sharing deal in Punjab, but will announce the pact at ‘an appropriate time’, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.
Citing unnamed sources in the PML-Q, the channel said the party has decided to form an alliance with the PPP ‘if the need arises’, after its efforts for the reunifications of the various factions of the Muslim League failed.
Earlier on Tuesday, Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer and former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi met at the Governor’s House. Sources privy to the talks told Daily Times the two leaders decided that representatives of district nazims of Punjab will meet President Asif Ali Zardari over the Punjab government’s alleged interference with the district governments.
They said Pervaiz Elahi hailed the governor’s support for the nazims and Taseer assured him he would arrange their meeting with Zardari as soon as the president returned from a foreign tour.
But a private news channel said they also discussed a political strategy in case the Supreme Court decides against the Sharif brothers in their electoral eligibility case.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court is hearing the case of the electoral eligibility of the Sharif brothers. The counsel for Nawaz Sharif’s proposer was giving arguments on Tuesday when the court time ended. The proceedings were adjourned for today (Wednesday).
Citing unidentified PML-Q leaders, the channel said the governor had offered the slot of chief minister to the former ruling party in case Shahbaz is disqualified.
The channel also said 23 district nazims from Punjab would meet President Zardari on February 7.
Pervaiz Elahi’s son Moonis Elahi was also present in the meeting, which is being seen as a significant event in the context of the current political situation.
Talking to a private TV channel after the meeting, Moonis Elahi said they had only discussed the issue of ‘harassment’ of the district nazims by the Punjab government. “Efforts are being made to destroy the system,” he told the channel, adding that the governor had assured them he would discuss the issue with the president.
Moonis Elahi said he was not keen on becoming the chief minister of Punjab, adding that his party only wanted political stability in the province.

Moonis Elahi Blog News: Salman Taseer Tries To Woo Chaudhrys
By Mayed Ali - Thursday, September 11, 2008
Lahore: Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer has made a formal offer to PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain for mutual cooperation between the two parties at the Centre and in the Punjab, The News has learnt.
In a surprise visit to the Chaudhrys' residence here on Wednesday, Taseer asked Ch Shujaat Hussain to meet President Zardari for evolving a joint future political strategy beneficial to both the parties. The governor spelt out the president's plan on the same count.
Former Punjab CM Ch Pervaiz Elahi, Moonis Elahi and Governor's Media Adviser Farrukh Shah were also present in the meeting which lasted about an hour. Sources revealed the governor dilated upon the working relationship that can be developed between the two parties in the Punjab and at the Centre. With regard to the Punjab, the governor hinted at a change, which would also help the PML-Q regroup again.
It is learnt no power-sharing formula was discussed. However, the governor dropped the hint that the PML-Q's initiative in this regard could open up multiple opportunities for both parties at the Centre and in the provinces.
The governor told the Chaudhrys that the PPP intended to stop the PML-Q's disintegration in the Punjab and at the Centre if the two parties arrive at some sort of understanding. Though the governor unfolded mutual gains like a possible change in the Punjab and power-sharing at the Centre, he kept stressing the PML-Q's erosion.
Taseer believed the PML-Q first needed to gather itself, and that would be a great benefit for the party if both moved ahead together. The governor also expected the PML-Q to play its role in strengthening democracy in the country. He said the PML-Q could also play a positive role in pending legislation at the Centre in the form of the proposed constitutional package. The PML-Q, which seems a docile party as far as the numbers game is concerned, has a good number of senators, who can make all the difference in constitutional amendments.
After the meeting, the Chaudhry family discussed in detail the pros and cons of the offer. The family, so far, has remained uncertain about joining hands with the PPP for several reasons, including the family feud with the Bhuttos.
A majority of PML-Q's leaders had been wary of such an arrangement too. However, in recent days, there has been a deep concern with regard to party erosion, particularly after the presidential elections. It is learnt Ch Shujaat Hussain is giving a serious thought to the offer.
Sources said Ch Shujaat Hussain seemed willing to grab the opportunity against the backdrop of the fact the party's political future was at stake. The PML-Q leadership was briefed on the governor's meeting later in the day. However, no final decision was reached so far as the party president wished to discuss the matter at the appropriate party platform.
