More than 15 opposition legislators to go 'missing' on day of no-trust move, Pervez Khattak claims
The minister predicts that seats on the opposition benches will remain empty on the day of the motion
Nowshera: PTI leader and Defence Minister Pervez Khattak Saturday claimed that more than 15 Opposition members would go “missing” on the day the no-confidence motion is presented before the National Assembly.
He was addressing a rally in his home district, the senior PTI leader claimed that the Opposition would face “embarrassment” when they would present the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Parliament.
“Seats on the Opposition benches would remain empty on the day of the motion,” he predicted, adding that their motion would help them reassess their worth.
Speaking about the ongoing PPP’s “Awami March” and the upcoming Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) long march, he said that no matter how many meetings, processions, long marches the Opposition holds, “PTI doesn’t care.”
Khattak said that the opposition has joined hands as they are scared of PM Imran Khan.
“Everyone has come together to remove Imran Khan,” he said.
He urged the anti-PTI groups to immediately bring back the money kept in offshore accounts, saying that they have no particular agenda they are just against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Last month, the opposition had announced that it would move a no-confidence motion against the incumbent PTI government.
