It should be noted that the no-confidence motion of the opposition against Prime Minister Imran Khan has caused a stir in the political circles of the country.

Yesterday, PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari had claimed that we would bring 172 members in the house and at the same time get more than 172 votes from them.

Last week, Aleem Khan, the former senior Punjab minister had joined Jahangir Khan Tareen faction of PTI with the view to save the party after loyalists had been sidelined following PM Imran’s rise to power.

Addressing a press conference, Aleem Khan had said if a no-trust is moved against Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, then the Tareen group would accordingly decide a future course of action.

The Opposition all set to move a no-trust motion against the PTI-led government in the Punjab and National assemblies. They have also made contact with several PTI leaders, including Tareen.

Aleem Khan said that he would not have been sad had PTI’s popularity been rising in the country. He lamented that the the government’s situation was dismal.

The former minister said that the PTI voters and loyalists are very upset over the poor situation of the Punjab government. Therefore, he said, we have decided that a like-minded group should be created.

Earlier, Foreign Minister and Senior Vice-Chairman of Paki­stan Tehreek-i-Insaf Shah Mahmood Qureshi had said that the PTI government doesn’t believe in restrictions on the me­­dia. However, he said that the government wants the media to play its role with responsibility.

Addressing a presser, the foreign minister said the changes to the Prev­ention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) were not intended to silent the media. He was of the view that any curbs were not workable in the present day.
