He also said that the parliament members have confidence in Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.
Blaming the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari, he said: “He offered Rs50 million to women legislators to buy their loyalties and support the PDM’s no-trust motion”.
Chaudhary demanded the ban on Zardari’s entry and his allies in Punjab.
