ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chairman Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday announced that the Opposition would table the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan-led federal government within the next 48 hours.
Talking to journalists in Islamabad, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief pointed out that the next two or three days are crucial and will bring good news. “The Opposition is on the same page and there is no point of contention amongst them,” he added.
“Opposition parties are now trusting each other and are in continuous contact with each other,” he said. In response to a question, he assured that the no-trust move will succeed as there is no disagreement among the Opposition parties and he was 100% confident of success.
He added that the Opposition has completed its “homework” as well. He further said that the PDM has gathered enough numbers to make the motion successful, adding that “all opposition parties unitedly want to bring down the government.”
“However, there have been no talks about the government that will be made after the current one falls,” he added. Fazl also said that the Opposition has asked all its lawmakers to arrive in Islamabad quickly.
The PDM chief said that the Opposition hasn’t received any support from the “umpire”, adding that they were not in contact with the establishment. “I don’t know if PML-N or PPP are in contact with the establishment,” he clarified.
Earlier, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Fazlur Rehman agreed on joint strategy in the Parliament against the government. PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari assured JUI-F chief Fazlur Rehman of his complete support for the opposition’s no-trust motion to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Last month, the Opposition had announced that it would move a no-confidence motion against the incumbent PTI government. Since the announcement, the Opposition has started contacting the allies of the PTI government and disgruntled members of the ruling party.
