The notice of his dismissal state that “Elahi once again violated the Party’s code of conduct by ignoring the show cause notice sent to him”. It is also reported that this dismissal is result of Elahi’s 26 January action of removing Chohdary Shujaat as President. This was a serious mistake and tremendous harm for the party’s reputation.
On January 15, Pervez Elahi also announced the merging of PML-Q with PTI which was totally unacceptable by party workers and disturbed the party discipline. Elahi said that any such merging will strengthen the party.
In a show cause notice sent to Pervez Elahi it is said that PML-Q as a political party has its own identity and discipline which others are violating. If anyone wants to join another party then they should resign from position and go with any other party they want.
