On the other hand a meeting of PML-Q like-minded leaders held at the residence of Hamayoun Akhtar to mull over the issue relating the party’s central leadership.

The party tapped Hamid Nasir Chattha for the party’s presidency; while Saleem Saifullah or Hamayoun Akhtar would be projected for the office of party’s secretary General, the meeting decided with consensus.

On the occasion Saleem Saifullah said that the Chaudhry brothers should immediately withdraw themselves from the presidency.

“We will not allow the party to slip into the family of Chaudhry Brothers,” Akhtar maintained adding party cannot be run with undemocratic ways.
