‘More than enough’ govt MNAs ready to support no-trust move: Sanaullah

PML-N Punjab chapter President Rana Sanaullah has claimed that the opposition is in contact with several treasury benches lawmakers and they are ready to jump ship to support the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
“More people [MNAs] are ready to leave them [government] than required to foil vote of confidence in parliament, he said on Saturday while speaking to media after the court hearing in Lahore.
His statement comes as the disgruntled Jahangir Tareen group is considering supporting the opposition in the no-trust move against the PTI-led government, sources told The Express Tribune on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, the Tareen group held a meeting at the residence of Awn Chaudhry under the chairmanship of estranged PTI leader Jahangir Tareen.
According to sources, the majority of the group’s members decided to enter the political arena with full force and launch the anti-government strategy.
The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – the nine-party opposition alliance – with mainstream PML-N and JUI-F leading from the front has been active to reach out and persuade the ruling PTI’s allies after it made a “firm decision” to move a no-trust motion against the government in the coming days over rising inflation and “failure” to address people’s woes.
Sanaullah said after entering the ‘comfort zone,’ the PML-N along with other opposition parties will decide whether to move a no-trust motion in the Punjab Assembly or the National Assembly first.

The PML-N leader said the ruling PTI’s lawmakers and its coalition partners no longer wanted to support the incumbent regime and contest the next general elections from its platform.
While responding to a question, he said that if the PTI-led government is not wary of the opposition’s no-confidence bid then why it is planning to give ministries to its allies and woo them through development funds.
Sanaullah also said PM Imran is not concerned about the deteriorating law and order situation in the country and added that the premier only held meetings to mull ways to victimise his opponents.
Sanaullah said that nothing could be proved in the drug case filed by Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) against him in 2019. Similarly, he said despite the passage of three years no corruption allegation has been proved against other opposition members.
