Former prime minister and PML-N senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has disclosed that PTI’s 20 MPs are with opposition, revealing further if his party was able to form government then Shehbaz Sharif would be the prime minister, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The PML-N leader was talking to media in Lahore on Saturday. With a mien exuding confidence, Abbasi revealed that at the time of no-confidence motion in the assembly, 20 MNAs of the ruling PTI would support their motion.
He said that the opposition had invited all government allies including the PML-Q to decide whether they wanted to support the government or side with people.
He disclosed that in case the no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan remained successful, then Shehbaz Sharif would be the party’s candidate for prime ministership.
Abbasi took offence to the abusive language being used by Prime Minister Khan saying it did not behoove a premier to use such language.
Rashid’s reconciliation statement shows his nervousness: Rana Sana
On the other hand, PML-N Punjab President Rana Sanaullah termed the ‘reconciliation’ statement of Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid manifestation of his edginess.
In a harsh language, dubbing Sh Rashid as ‘Pindi’s devil’ he uttered the proverb ‘beads about the neck and devil in heart’ for him.
“After an attack on parliament, assault on parliament lodges and then kidnapping of MNAs, the interior minister’s statement about reconciliation reveals his uneasiness,” Rana Sana said.
He further mocked that both ‘boss’ and ‘peon’ (referring to prime minister and the interior minister) were saying something foolish after the submission of no-trust motion to the assembly. Soon the nation will get rid of these ‘muppits’, he added.
He further said that the first to defect the ‘boss’ would be the ‘peon’.
