“The National Assembly (NA) recently reposed confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan for the second time in three years while people also stand by the PTI-led government.”

He added that the PDM leadership should refrain from undemocratic demands. “All nefarious designs of the opposition were destined to meet failure like in the past.”

Sarwar claimed that the opposition's narrative, based on anarchy, had been rejected on every forum including the parliament. "The opposition should stop resorting to politics of protest marches and sit-ins," he added.
