LAHORE: As the Opposition plans to move a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government, sources close to the Jahangir Tareen group have claimed that the estranged PTI leader’s faction may side with the Opposition.
Sources privy to the matter revealed that the majority in the group suggests standing with the PML-N, while lawmakers elected from Jhang believe that the faction should remain independent.
The majority of the group is of the view that the faction should “actively take part in the current political scenario.” Sources further added that the majority of the lawmakers were of the view that it was the right time for them to develop a strategy against the PTI-led government.
Per sources, the group has also decided to come up with its own strategy when the no-confidence motion is formally presented, but advised that the faction’s political cards should remain secret until the tabling of the no-confidence motion. They added that the group might side with the Opposition when the motion is presented in the assembly.
