PML MNAs demand answers from Shujaat, Aziz over 'deal with PPP'
Some 20 lawmakers and ministers of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (PML) demanded answers from the prime minister and party president on Monday about the meeting between President General Pervez Musharraf and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in Abu Dhabi.

At a parliamentary party meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and PML President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain at Prime Minister’s House, PML members including Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Riaz Fatyana, Abdul Razzaq Thaheem and Chaudhry Shahbaz Hussain voiced concern about the contacts between the president and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairwoman, sources in the PML told Daily Times.

The president did not meet directly with the PML parliamentarians, instead asking the prime minister and PML president to handle the ire of the MNAs. The sources said that the PML parliamentarians complained that they were kept in the dark about important national issues – such as the Musharraf-Benazir meeting, and the decision to file a misconduct reference against Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry back in March – while the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), the PML’s junior member in the ruling coalition, was consulted on all issues.
