LAHORE, Sept 8: The third rounds of talks between the PML-QA and the PML (Chattha) for seat adjustments failed to produce any results on Sunday as there was disagreement between the negotiators over the assessment of the situation.

As a result, their candidates would fight against each other.

“We have agreed to disagree”, PML(Chattha) group president Hamid Nasir Chattha told Dawn after the talks. The PML-QA delegation comprised Chaudhry Shujaat Husain, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, while the PML(C) was represented by Mr Hamid Nasir Chattha, Sardar Assef Ahmed Ali, Abdullah Ghazi and some others.

It is said that the PML-C demanded more seats than the PML-QA was willing to yield. The two sides struck to their respective positions, as a result of which the talks failed.

Mr Chattha said no further round of talks would be held.

AZHAR: PML-QA President Mian Azhar said on Sunday that politicians and candidates should be facilitated to establish a contact with the masses.

In a press statement, he said this was not the right time for agitation or long marches. Instead, he said this was the time for everybody to play a positive role for the restoration of democracy.

Those involving themselves in confrontation or trying to push the country towards a chaos wanted to influence the electoral process, he said, adding his party would expose such elements before the people’s court.

He said whether or not his party got an opportunity to come to power, its leaders would not flee the country. He said he would remain in the country through thick and thin, and had made no assets abroad.

Without naming the two former prime ministers, Mian Azhar said a revolution would initiate neither from Jeddah nor from Dubai, as it would emanate from the poor man’s hut.
