Shujaat said that he wants to take everyone in confidence regarding the allegations levelled against him. He criticised that politicians were blamed for every mess, however, an individual could not gain confidence of the nation by spreading disinformation.

Tariq Bashir Cheema said that he was not worried for being removed from the position of PML-Q secretary-general. He said that it was impossible to remove Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain from the presidency of the PML-Q as he is its founder.
He said that a so-called session of the executive committee had been conducted by the party’s presidential official in Punjab in which they recommended to remove Shujaat from the presidency.
He asked PML-Q office-bearers to refrain from making fun of their own political party and dividing the family.
He said that he remained a minister during 3.5 years of former premier Imran Khan’s cabinet and he knew well that the ex-PM was a lier. Cheema said that PML-Q will challenge the Supreme Court (SC)’s decision in the deputy speaker ruling case after the issuance of a detailed verdict.
Cheema said that Asif Ali Zardari and Shujaat Hussain have old political ties. He reiterated support to the coalition government and clarified that PML-Q is still united.
