According to media reports, a session of the national assembly will be called after the OIC meeting to clear the air of uncertainty in the capital caused by the no-trust motion.
No-trust motion
The opposition alliance had submitted a no-trust motion on March 8, against Prime Minister Imran Khan to dethrone him from his seat.
The motion, signed by 86 opposition members, was submitted by an opposition delegation comprising PML-N leaders Rana Sanaullah, Ayaz Sadiq, Khwaja Saad Rafique, Marriyum Aurangzeb, PPP leaders Shazia Marri, Naveed Qamar and other members.
Meanwhile, the government is satisfied that it would inflict defeat to the opposition’s no-trust motion politically and democratically.
Earlier on Monday, Shah Mahmood Qureshi expressed his confidence that the government would emerge victorious in the no-trust motion.
He further said he has full confidence in the ruling party’s allies, including PML-Q, MQM-Pakistan and Balochistan Awami Party, and expressed his thankfulness to them.
