PML-Q wants strong govt

Published November 18, 2002

ABBOTTABAD, Nov 17: The PML-Q wants a strong coalition governments in the Centre and NWFP.

This was stated by the MPA-elect of the PML-Q from the district, Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani, while talking to Dawn on Thursday.

He hoped that the understanding reached between the PML-Q and the MMA to form government in the Centre would also follow the formation of the government in the province on reciprocal basis.

The joining of other forces in the province and the MMA in the Centre would remove all doubts about the government’s structure on the pattern of the “Taliban”, Mr Ghani said, adding that the PML-Q would be ahead of the MMA in the enforcement of Shariah in the country.

The MPA-elect said that the PML-Q would strive for the human rights in the province and work for the provincial autonomy but a strong federation would be their priority.
