It may be recalled that earlier Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz had directed the coalition members of the Provincial Assembly to reach Lahore immediately in view of the fear of losing their posts under the court order.
Following the recent remarks of the Lahore High Court, the Punjab Chief Minister mobilized to save the seat. Hamza Shehbaz yesterday directed the coalition members to reach Lahore to deal with a possible no-confidence motion.
Two days before today, the Lahore High Court, while giving remarks, said that if the polling for the election of the Chief Minister is held again, how can the crisis be avoided? Because if a poll is held, the candidate who gets the majority will become the Chief Minister.
