On the allegation of sack of notes and horse trading by the government, Raja Riaz said that we disagree with Imran Khan so we will decide according to our conscience and vote. Imran Khan guarantee that members can decide whatever they want. And if there is no action from the police then they are ready to go to Parliament Lodge from here.
He further said that there are other people who want to come here but PML-N is not able to accommodate them, because they have their own members.
Nawab Sher Wasir, another PTI MNA in Sindh House, said that he would not contest the next election on PTI ticket, but would fight independently or would decide by asking the people.
In response to a question, he said that Fawad Chaudhry would be hugged in the PTI meeting before voting on no-confidence.
There is no need to seek permission from Fawad Chaudhry to vote, he said.
Journalist Hamid Mir said that if he counted the MNAs of PTI present there, they were 20, but the rest of the people may also be present. There was another MNA Noor Alam Khan also present, but he was present with his guests so he could not speak to them, there were other members besides him who did not want to appear in front of the camera, he added.
Earlier, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), had claimed that their number of members have reached 190. Talks with the government allies is in our favour, he added.
In an interview with a local TV, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that if they touch any of our member, we will teach them a lesson. He said that we owe a debt to PML-Q, they should fulfill the promise made to us. People of PML-Q have been saying for last two years that attitude of PTI is not right.
