IJAZ: PML-Z faction chief Ijazul Haq says neither the PDM is in a position to launch a long march nor can it table a no-trust motion against the government.
At a function held here on Friday, he said those who should be in jails and wanted to drag each other in the streets were now embracing each other.
He said the government had only 10 overs left and it could survive only with its good performance.
