Coalition partners were firmly behind PM Shehbaz: law minister
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Law Azam Nazeer Tarar said on Tuesday the government would respond positively if President Arif Alvi asked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to seek the vote of confidence.
Speaking to Dunya News, the law minister said the coalition partners were firmly behind PM Shehbaz and reiterated that the elections would be held as per schedule.
Responding to a question regarding vote of confidence, Mr Tarar said appropriate time was required to seek trust vote and the timing was decided by the National Assembly speaker and the leader of the House.
The minister said extending tenure of caretaker government was a legal, not a political issue. Punjab would go to polls in 90 days if everything remained normal, he added. He further said PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had directed the party to start preparations for elections and soon a parliamentary board would be constituted to allocate tickets to candidates.
