Let $G$ be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $T$ be a maximal torus, $B$ be a Borel subgroup and $I_G$ is the set of simple roots. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup, $M$ be its Levi and let $I_M$ be the set of simple roots of $M$ (with the natural choice of Borel of $M$). Let $\wedge_G$ be the weight lattice of G. We define $\wedge_{G,P}:=\frac{\wedge_G}{\text{span of} \alpha_i,i\in I_M}$. My question: Is $\wedge_{G,P}=X(Z(M)^0)?$, where $Z(M)^0$ is the component of $Z(M)$ containing the identity and $X(Z(M)^0)$ is the character group of the torus $Z(M)^0$.
