There will be consequences if PM Imran fails to fulfill promises, warns PML-Q leader Agha

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) leader Kamil Ali Agha on Wednesday warned that there would be consequences if Prime Minister Imran Khan did not fulfill promises made to the party, reported The News. 

Agha made the comments while speaking to a private television channel on Wednesday night. "If the government fails to control inflation and corruption, it will be difficult for PML-Q to stand by PTI," he said.

Agha added that the top concerns for PML-Q at the moment were inflation and bad governance. "No doubt, we are allies of the government, but we are not ready to pay the price for its wrong decisions," he maintained.

Another leader of the PML-Q, Tariq Bashir Cheema, who is also the minister for housing and works, told the media on Wednesday that the agreement the PML-Q had made with the ruling PTI was based on providing relief to the common man. 

“The price hike genie has become uncontrollable. Our advice to the government is that it should set the matters right. We have been part of the parliament all our lives and keep meeting each other," he said. 

"Our position is clear, other allies should clear their position. Being allies of the government, we are riding in the same boat, if the boat sinks, it would sink due to wrong decisions, we will not be included in it," he said.
