LAHORE: While declaring a 'bleak future' for the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) government on Saturday, Pakistan Muslim League – Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi said the doors for negotiation with the government were no longer open.
Speaking to media representatives after meeting Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri in the Minhajul Quran International's Lahore secretariat, Elahi said no contact had been established with the government, neither would any efforts be made for the same.
He told reporters that detailed consultations had been held between PML-Q leadership and Qadri, adding that the future course of action would be declared at a press conference whereas the decision on whether or not to partake in Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) million man long march on Islamabad would be taken tomorrow.

Elahi said detention or imprisonment do not deter him from making the right call.
Earlier, Elahi and his cousin Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, held talks with the PAT chief today in a meeting which lasted for two hours. During the meeting, Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Sheikh Rashid was also present.
The talks come at a time when the PTI is finalising its strategy for the August 14 long march in Islamabad where the army has been mandated to assist the civil administration in maintaining law and order in the federal capital.
