The information minister said the opposition parties with their “diminishing public support” were not in a position to topple the democratically-elected government through its long march on Islamabad on March 27.
Responding to a question on local body elections in Jhelum, the minister expressed hope that PTI would “clean sweep” the upcoming polls.
