PML-N dares PTI to convene National Assembly session
30
LAHORE: The PML-N has challenged the PTI-led government to convene a session of the National Assembly if it is confident of enjoying majority in the house.
“If you have the required strength (in the house), then don’t waste time and convene the assembly session immediately for foiling the no-confidence motion (the opposition parties are set to move),” PML-N Punjab president Rana Sanaullah Khan said here on Sunday.
“What made you uproot chairs and remove carpets of the house?” he asked while referring to the renovation work initiated to prepare the capacious National Assembly hall for holding a meeting of the OIC foreign ministers’ conference on March 22.
He implied that the renovation was a tactic to delay the session of the opposition for tabling the no-trust motion.
In a reference to Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak’s claim that over a dozen opposition MPs were in contact with the government to foil the no-trust move against the prime minister, Rana Sana said the government had, in fact, confessed to horse-trading through the statement.

Failure due to indecisive and poor judgements again due to incompetence! First as an election promise falsely said would never go to IMF, then wasted 2 years to go, then buckled under pressure and agreed to every IMF demand. Result, country suffers due to their Sheer incompetence

Opposition is fighting the wrong battle. Covid, Afghanistan situation, Current Account Deficit, Gas and Electricity load shedding are the biggest matters that need combined govt and opposition attention to solve and reduce. Please focus.

Oh even Rana Sahib has lost the sting in his words ! I think the no trust motion has been lost even before tabling.

Why will govt need to convene NA session. No confidence motion has to be brought up by the opposition not govt. Stupid illogical man.

Has the opposition done any work in last 3.5years or just collect wages for protesting in the streets instead of legislating for teh sake of people of Pakistan; they have no Socio-Economic Policies and solution for the country's issues of debt, deficit and inflation, nor for its foreign policy.

There must be no compromise with looters and corrupts of this country. Pakistan will overcome this drama and all looters of national wealth will face jail term and repay back looted wealth.

@Shiraz, The other perspective, to ease all mentioned challenges, they think that the current setup is the reason and failed hence the focus is to fix the root cause and that this setup has to GO.

It should be the opposite since these opposition parties have been claiming to have achieved the target of the required votes for a no trust motion.

The President is not the only person who can summon the Assembly.....the Speaker too can on a request of one fourth of the members. Now if the Opposition has the numbers it can make this request. I obtained this information on the web site, so am sure Rana Sab also knows this.

The country is devastated because of what happened in Peshawar last Friday. Government, the opposition and the establishment should combine their efforts to fight extremism and terrorism instead of fighting for personal political gains. Those in power and the opposition should work to enlarge the 'size of the cake' by increasing GDP and balancing import and exports. Neither the government nor the opposition nor the Establishment are giving due attention to the real problems we are facing .....

Not true. PDM approached PTI, and PTI has not said anything but PDM worried.
