"There is no truth whatsoever in the rumours relating to gulf between me and [finance minister] Asad Umer," Tareen told reporters in Faisalabad.

The senior PTI senior leader also refuted any reports of a verbal scuffle at any meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan and attended by the duo. "Neither do I have any differences with anyone," he added.

To a question, Tareen said PM Imran was only responding to a question when he had hinted at early elections. He claimed the PTI will win the elections even if these are held early.

Hinting at possible changes in the federal cabinet in the next 10 days, PM Imran interestingly said that early elections in the country couldn’t be ruled out. The premier also said that he only came to know about the sudden increase in dollar’s value through the news.

The statement had invited stern criticism from the Opposition leaders, who were of the opinion that the country couldn't afford elections at this stage.
