Former Punjab CM Parvez Elahi’s wife Qaisra Elahi has vowed that he will not quit Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at any cost, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing a joint press conference along with Shujaat Hussain’s sister, Sumaira Elahi, in Gujrat on Monday, Qaisra said despite hardships and imprisonment Parvez Elahi still sincerely stood with his party founder Imran Khan.

Referring to the upcoming by-election in PP-32 Gujrat constituency, she said: “I am surprised that 25-year-old milk-drinking baby Musa Elahi is contesting elections against 78-year-old Parvez Elahi.”

Musa Elahi is the son of Chaudhary Wajahat Hussain, the younger brother of the PML-Q chief.

“Parvez Elahi, at the age of 78, is still brave enough to bear hardships,” she added.

Qaisra added, “Shujaat Hussain’s sons call themselves the heirs of Zahoor Elahi but his politics had never been like this.”

If Zahoor Elahi’s politics was to raid political opponents’ houses and pick them up, she asked.

Raising questions over the level playing field in the upcoming by-polls, Qaisra said that their polling agents and workers were being arrested by the police on the directions of their rival candidates.

 Elahi had announced to contest the PP-32 by-election from Gujrat. The seat fell vacant after Chaudhry Salik Hussain retained his MNA seat.

 She accused Salik Hussain and Shafay Hussain of violating the sanctity of “chadar and char dewari”.

 Mrs Parvez also accused the two brothers of stealing the February 8 general elections and vowed that they would not let it happen again in the by-polls.
