ISLAMABAD, July 18: PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain is coming on Wednesday next from London to start the new round of talks with the combined opposition.

“I made a telephone call to Chaudhry Sahib today who told me that he has cut short his visit and now reaching Lahore on Wednesday with a view to establishing fresh contact with the opposition parties,” said Vice President of PML-Q Syed Kabir Ali Wasti.

He told Dawn on Friday that the parliamentary leader of the ruling PML-Q was reaching Pakistan 10 days before schedule after having consulted his doctors in London.

He said the PML-Q president believed that government/opposition differences would be resolved amicably.
