Earlier, three senior ministers in a meeting with PML-Q leaders Moonis Elahi and Tariq Bashir Cheema suggested the name of Aleem to replace Usman Buzdar as the Chief Minister of Punjab.

In a late night sitting PML-Q leaders rejected the government ministers’ suggestion, sources said. “It will be better Usman Buzdar keeps the office instead of replacing him with Aleem ”, PML-Q leaders said.
