Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar on Saturday said that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has finalised its strategy to deal with the opposition’s no-confidence motion and the ruling party will disclose it on time.
Talking to a private news channel, he said the opposition leaders are just playing ‘no-confidence’ game just to protect their vested interest and they are only wasting the government’s time to drag attention on other matters.
He said the day of no-confidence vote will be remarkable as all the coalition groups will be standing and supporting openly the incumbent government.
He said that there is no truth in the reports regarding change in the Punjab government, adding that unfortunately, all speculations are circulating on media outlets.
He said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is the only authority to take any decision about any political change in the province, adding that Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) has not put any condition on the government about the replacement of Punjab chief minister.
He further stated that PTI has decided to organise a large public meeting in the federal capital one day before the no-confidence vote.
On the other hand, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said that the opposition’s ill-planned no-confidence motion has stirred up ‘bitterness’ in politics.
In a tweet, the minister said that democracy is not a system of extreme divisions but is based on political consensus.
“It is not difficult to fight, but reconciliation is difficult later”, he said, adding that politics should not be so divisive that it becomes difficult to talk to each other.
