PML-Q to sit in opposition
|
(Xinhua) -- Pakistan's former ruling party Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) announced on Saturday that it would sit in the opposition and play an active role in the parliament. "We accepted the election results despite rigging complaints and will set new traditions of tolerance and positive politics," the PML-Q Chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said after chairing a meeting of central leaders and newly elected members of the parliament here.
The meeting was held to review the reasons of their defeat in general elections and the post-election scenario, the News Network International (NNI) news agency reported. Hussain said PML-Q members would support the future government of rivals but also "will talk on issues and will have positive contributions." "PML-Q will set new traditions in politics. We will adopt the policy of co-existence," the party Secretary General senator Mushahid Hussain Syed said.
Syed said PML-Q would support the government agenda of war on terror, foreign policy if based on national interest and policy to have good relations with neighbors. "We will say good-bye to the politics of revenge and will favor the process of reconciliation," he said.
The meeting decided to form a legal committee to extend support to the party's losing candidates who were complaining about rigging. "We will not make any effort to form government in center and provinces. But will press the government to improve life of the people and continue anti-terrorism, extremism agenda," Syed said. He said that Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain would continue to be president of the party.
