LAHORE, April 30: Alternative measures will be adopted to achieve membership targets in constituencies where the legislators concerned failed to give the desired results, Punjab PML Secretary-General Chaudhry Zaheeruddin says.

In a letter to the party lawmakers, Zaheeruddin said Chief Minister and Punjab PML President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi had directed that a strategy should be worked out to achieve the enrolment targets in the constituencies where the legislators were not working actively.

The party had planned to make three million members in Punjab by the end of March. However, most of the legislators failed to achieve even 50 per cent of the target, as a result of which the party had to extend the date and activate those who were to bring new faces into the party. Zaheeruddin said that membership campaign was very important for party’s reorganization and selection of candidates for the local and the general polls. He said it was for this reason that Chaudhry Shujaat Husain and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi were getting daily report about the progress in the membership campaign. The PML leader hoped that all legislators would perform their duties with respect to the membership drive. —Staff Reporter
