Opposition threatens sit-in, disrupt OIC summit
Earlier today, the leadership of joint opposition while issuing a warning to Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser had said that the attack on Sindh House was an attack on Pakistan and this attack is a proof of the success of the no-confidence motion.
The meeting for the leaders of joint opposition ended at the residence of PML-N President and Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif. Former President Asif Ali Zardari, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman also attended the meeting.
During the meeting, important issues related to the no-confidence motion were discussed in details.
Addressing a press conference flanked by other opposition leaders including PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, PDM chairman Maulana Fazlur Rehman, BNP chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal in Islamabad on Saturday, Shehbaz Sharif said that a tragic incident that took place in the Sindh House yesterday was condemnable.
The opposition leader said that the attack on Sindh House was an attack on Pakistan, adding that PM Imran has bulldozed democracy and was ready to cross all boundaries to remain in power. The allies themselves are saying that we cannot go to the constituencies because of PTI.
Shehbaz went on to say that inflation and unemployment have devastated the country and the lawmakers cannot even go to their respective constituencies. He also accused the PTI government of doing horse-trading in Balochistan and Senate elections.
“We want to exercise our right by following the path of constitution and law,” he said and warned the speaker to play his constitutional role.
Chiding the NA Speaker younger Sharif said, "Don’t let democracy derail, otherwise neither history nor the people of Pakistan would forgive you."
