ISLAMABAD/LAHORE: While stepping up efforts to table a no-confidence motion against the government, the top leaders of the three opposition parties on Monday decided to let the ruling Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) complete its tenure till next year in order to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Holding a serious consultative session in the presence of their senior members and legal wizards to discuss the pros and cons of their possible move aimed at ousting Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) reached the conclusion that the best way to about it is to let the premier “do what he is doing, for as long as possible.”
“We’ll keep saying that [Imran Khan] might go any moment, but we’ll make sure that he doesn’t go anywhere before 2023,” noted the participants of the meeting headed by PDM chief Fazlur Rehman, PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
“Not only would this be convenient — because of course the countdown is pretty much our sole vocation as opposition — but it would also be a foolproof strategy in how it will allow the PTI government the maximum amount of time to continue imploding,” the participants further noted.
At press time, the participants of the meeting were quietly cognisant of the fact that some of them would be making similar foolproof strategies against others among them in the five years after 2023.
