Internal wrangling over political future of 'Q' intensifies.

GUJRAT -- Former federal minister Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain claims the sons of PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain have sought dollars from PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari for supporting the present coalition government led by the PML-N.

'It's a scar on our family's political stature that our scions can stoop so low in electoral politics,' he told a meeting of party workers from Gujrat city at the Zahoor Elahi House here on Friday.

Shujaat's son Salik Hussain is presently a federal minister while Shafay Hussain is reportedly seeking some role in the provincial set-up. Wajahat claimed Salik had already obtained money while his younger brother had been given an assurance by the PPP leader.

Presently in the Parvez Elahi camp, Wajahat Hussain commands influence at the local level in Gujrat and works behind the scenes to strengthen the party.
