Maulana Fazl says PTI govt is isolated & no longer enjoys support of its coalition partners


KARACHI, Mar 22 (SABAH): Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) President and JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Tuesday claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is isolated and no longer enjoys support of its coalition partners.

Talking to media persons along with MQM-Pakistan Convener Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui after visiting of MQM-P’s Bahadurabad office, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that opposition has complete understanding with MQM-P; however, the latter will take one more day to announce its decision regarding no confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

He further said that no-trust move has been submitted in the assembly and he is fully satisfied with the response he received from his hosts. Maulana Fazl was also certain of motion’s success.

The PDM chief said the language PM Imran Khan has used during the recent rallies in Khyber Pakhtunkwa was not that of an “honourable person”. “I think it is disrespectful to have such people assume such big offices,” Fazl said.

Before meeting the MQM-P delegation at their head office, a journalist asked Fazl whether the Opposition was afraid of the outcome of the no-confidence motion. At this, the PDM chief said: “Hum ghabratay nahi hain (we are not afraid).”

On the occasion, Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that MQM-Pakistan respects JUI-F head and his presence and guidance has provided them with courage.

Earlier, Maulana Fazlur Rehman visited headquarters of MQM-P to seek party’s support for opposition’s no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and other members of the Rabta Committee welcomed the opposition leader upon his arrival at Bhadurabad office.

Matters relating to evolving political situation as well as no-confidence motion will be discussed.
