ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party ( PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said that the joint opposition has the support of more than the required number of MNAs to pass the no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Talking to the media after the National Assembly meeting, in which the opposition tabled the no-confidence motion, PPP Charman termed the tabling of the motion a clear victory of the opposition, saying that Imran Khan is left with no option to save his government.
“We have emerged victorious… finally, the process of no-trust proceedings has kicked off. Now there is no way for Prime Minister Imran to save himself,” he asserted.
His statement comes after the Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif presented the no-confidence motion against PM Imran in the lower house of parliament earlier in the day.
Responding to a question, Bilawal said joint opposition has the support of more than the required number of lawmakers to de-seat the premier through the no-trust voting.
“We are heading towards transparent elections, soon we will rid this country of the ‘selected’ regime,” the PPP chairman said.
When asked about reports that the ruling PTI’s key ally, PML-Q, has announced supporting the government. “The government should not put its words in Pervez Elahi’s mouth… no ally of the PTI government spoke in favour of the government in meetings with opposition parties,” he added.
Bilawal said the PPP was finding common grounds to form a working relationship with the MQM-P regardless of their decision of whether they are supporting the opposition or the government in the no-trust move.
“Working relationship is important for the betterment of the economy and the metropolis.”
Bilawal also criticised PM Imran’s Sunday speech, saying that “those leaders who failed to resolve the issue of masses resort to using religion card”.
