A meeting was held between Vice Chairman PTI Shah Mehmood Qureshi and PML (Q) leaders today at Chaudhry Shujaat's residence in Lahore, Dunya News reported. Shah Mehmood said at this occasion that he wanted to share his point of view with the PML (Q) leaders and that is what made him visit their residence. Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said that his party was unnecessarily being accused of pursuing an anti-democracy agenda whereas they have never demanded or said anything that is in contrast with the democratic fundamentals of the country.
Leaderships of the two parties discussed the prospects of the Long March that PTI has announced and is scheduled for August 14, 2014. PML (Q) leaders have met various political leaders during the last few days and the two leaderships also pondered upon the outcomes of those meetings. Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the 14th August Long March will definitely take place and all speculations about this decision being revisited should now end. He invited all the political parties, religious organizations and civil society to join the PTI in this long march. “This Long March is to strengthen the democracy, not to derail it”, Shah Mehmood said.
