Islamabad: Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari Monday said the days of Imran Khan as Prime Minister were numbered as no-confidence motion against him had been moved in the lower house.

Talking to reporters outside the Parliament House and later talking to Twitter, he said two allies-- Balochistan Awami Party and Jamhoori Watan Party-- announced to leave the government.

"More and more rebel members have expressed their intention to vote against unannounced and undeclared government."

Bialwal said Imran Khan's last week as Prime Minister had begun, adding the farewell of "Selected" is getting near.

He said no-confidence motion has been filed and the numbers of the Opposition were complete. "The process has started today. We are moving from the {elected} government to fair and transparent elections."

Bilawal said the role of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker had been undemocratic. "Imran Khan is a coward and has been running since March 8."

He said there should be a no-confidence vote within seven days, adding "there is no way for Imran Khan to run away and escape."

Answering the questions of the journalists, the PPP chairman said that he would pay attention to the provinces after the departure of the Prime Minister. In response to a question, he said religion card should not be used as "religion is not a card, it is a personal issue. Politics cannot be linked to religion".

He said when these rulers didn't fulfill their promises, they used religion card. 

To a question, the PPP chairman said, "We want to work with all parties. Imran Khan's government is over, MQM will decide on its own and on time. We want to work with all stakeholders."

He said attention should be paid to the problems of Karachi for the economy and development of Pakistan.

In response to a question, the PPP chairman said that Pervaiz Elahi could speak for himself, the government couldn't speak for him. "Our number is complete and now we are in pulse."

Replying to a question, Bilawal said he didn't think that anyone could go along with the coalition government. 

He challenged the Prime Minister to show the letter he displayed at his public meeting. "This will be the first conspiracy to be written. This is the first conspiracy in the world that someone will write a letter." He said yesterday Imran Khan seemed to be a loser and he was still doing old things.

He said that every Pakistani is looking at the parliament to see who stands with Imran and the people in this historic inflation, poverty and unemployment. Chairman PPP said that people have to support for political future.

He said Imran had no direction in the government and would not do so later. He did nothing to become Bhutto in three years. Copying also requires intellect.

"We will make Shahbaz Sharif the prime minister"

President Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians and former President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari addressing a press conference expressed his gratitude towards Khalid Magsi and the BAP on the eve of the latter joining the opposition.

President Zardari said that the opposition can serve the people of Balochistan. If there is Balochistan, there is Pakistan. We will make Shehbaz Sharif the prime minister.

Responding to the questions of the journalists, Chairman Bilawal said that the PPP has been struggling for the restoration of democracy for the past three generations. We have taken these steps for the restoration of democracy. We have brought a democratic no-confidence.

We welcome Khalid Magsi and his party, and also Shahzain Bugti who announced his support yesterday.

We will combat the issues that Pakistan is faced with. Our numbers were complete on 8th March.

Answering a question, Bilawal said that ‘If your words are nothing, you are nothing.’ We want to take everyone along with us, including the allies.
