As beleaguered Prime Minister Imran Khan has stated that he will not give in and will fight to the bitter end, the PTI has devised a new strategy to halt voting on the no-confidence motion, which is scheduled to begin before noon today (Saturday).
According to sources, the PTI has devised a strategy to postpone voting on the no-trust resolution. According to the plan, PTI ministers such as Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Shireen Mazari, and others will deliver lengthy speeches in order to postpone the crucial vote that could send the government packing.
It is also feared that a scuffle will erupt in the lower house over the issue of lettergate, according to sources, who added that one group of treasury members will raise slogans in protest of the regime change through what they call a “foreign plot.”
