PML-Q chief assure­s Fazl that he will soon discus­s 'secret deal with him in detail'LAHORE: PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has urged JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman not to open a new ‘Pandora’s box’ by making controversial statements regarding a “secret deal” that allegedly brought to an end his anti-government “Azadi March” protest last year. Shujaat was apparently referring to the statements wherein the JUI-F chief had claimed that Chaudhry brothers — Shujaat and Chaudhy Pervaiz Elahi — were privy to the assurances that were given to him to call off his anti-government sit-in in Islamabad in October 2019. Fazl had staged the two-week long sit-in to dislodge the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan, accusing him of coming into power through rigged elections. “You [Maulana Fazl] are a son of a great father who played a vital role in making the country stronger,” the PML-Q chief was quoted as saying in a statement issued by his party. The former premier also assured the JUI-F chief that he will discuss the “secret deal” in detail with him whenever he visits Islamabad and try to find its solution.
