LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has claimed that the defeat of 10 PML-Q ministers in the 2008 general elections was āpre-plannedā, Dunya News reported on Monday.
In an appearance on the programme āSituation Room with Ayla Malikā, Shujaat alleged that former president Pervez Musharraf had prepared a list of 10 ministers who were to be defeated, to āshow the world that the elections were conducted in a free and transparent mannerā. He said that his name was added to the list at the āvery last minuteā. Shujaat said he conveyed to Musharraf after the elections that his partyās defeat was engineered.
However, he said that what happened in the past must be forgotten, and all political parties must unite to move forward, as the country was passing through a very difficult time.
Shujaat also denied that Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer transferred and posted officials during governorās rule in Punjab āin line with my demandā. He claimed that the future belonged to the PML-Q, as the Pakistan Peopleās Party and the PML-Nawaz had disappointed the masses.
In the same programme, former foreign minister Khursheed Kasuri said that the list Shujaat had referred to was prepared by PML-Q leader Pervaiz Elahi instead of Musharraf. He said preparation of the list was part of Elahiās plan to become prime minister. daily times monitor
