According to a press release issued here on Monday, Chaudhry Parvez Elahi further said that consultations to field joint candidates in the upcoming LG polls will continue, adding that PML-Q was working sincerely with its senior partner PTI to provide relief to the masses. He said PML-Q was taking the coalition forward with utmost sincerity.
PTI is afraid of holding local body elections in Punjab and Sindh, that is why PTI is constantly making it controversial. If the PPP govt does not keep the LG system of Sindh alive, the PTI would have completely buried the system like 5 million homes and 10 million jobs promise.
