LAHORE, Oct 12: Punjab PML-Q President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said here on Saturday his party would not go for a solo flight and would prefer to take other parties along to form a government at the Centre.

For this purpose, he said, his party would also contact the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal, an alliance of religious parties.

Talking to reporters at his residence, he said that the MMA was the natural ally of the PML-Q and the party was already in contact with JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

Chaudhry Pervaiz said in the Punjab, his party enjoyed a comfortable majority and the National Alliance and many independents were also with it. Fourteen PML-Q leaders who could be given tickets had been elected in their personal capacity and now they would be joining hands with the party.

Ilyas Khan, elected from Kasur, joined the PML-Q on Saturday.

Meanwhile, PML-Q leader Humayun Akhtar Khan, declared successful on NA-125 (Lahore), said here on Saturday that the general election was free and fair and any other allegation was completely baseless.
