Bhootani quits Imran-led coalition
35
QUETTA: Mohammad Aslam Bhootani, an independent MNA elected from the Gwadar-Lasbela NA-272 constituency, has decided to quit the ruling coalition and join hands with the opposition trying to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan through a vote of no confidence.
“I have decided to leave the government alliance,” Mr Bhootani told Dawn on Monday night.
He has taken the decision after a meeting with PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. “I and my family have very old relations with Asif Ali Zardari and I cannot ignore him,” Aslam Bhootani said, who joined the PTI-led government in 2018 when Imran Khan came to power and supported it for over three and a half years.
Mr Bhootani was elected as an MNA after obtaining 70,000 votes — the highest in Balochistan.

And he remembered these "old relations" with Zardari after spending 3.5 years with PTI government? Why am I not surprised?

These MNAs won on Imran Khans support and now when he needs most help, they're leaving to support Zardari. Turncoats.

How can we expect these guys to be loyal to the nation when they can’t even be loyal to their party. These are power hungry corrupt people.

Amazing to see that an ‘important’ country has sent a threatening letter..a letter(!) to IK. IK then doesn’t share this with security committee but instead is carrying this ‘secret’ high value evidence on his person to a non government event, outside the security parameters of the state!
