DERA ISMAIL KHAN/ ISLAMABAD:

The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has announced staging a grand power show in Islamabad on the day of no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Imran Khan in National Assembly, which is likely to be held later this month.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Sunday, PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal said the party would hold a rally of two million people at federal capital’s Constitution Avenue area against the PTI-led government.

The announcement comes as ruling party is preparing to stage a one-million strong rally at Islamabad’s D-Chowk as part of its efforts to counter the opposition’s attempts to topple the PTI-led government.

“No-confidence motion is not a movement for any political change but a movement of people to protect their interests,” Iqbal said, adding that all political and democratic forces have joined hands to send the incumbent government packing for the protection of the Constitution of the country.

During it’s almost four years in power, the PML-N leader said, the PM Imran-led government has destroyed the country’s economy and the entire administrative machinery came to a halt.

He claimed that the foreign investment had been on decline and the incumbent government has borrowed record loans worth Rs20 trillion and wasted them on bridging the deficit.

The PML-N leader added that the corruption has increased since the ruling PTI came into power.

Meanwhile, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has asked PM Imran to make efforts for gathering support of 172 MNAs in National Assembly instead of gathering one million people in Islamabad ahead of no-trust vote.

Addressing a press conference in Dera Ismail Khan, Fazl said that PM Imran has lost the majority in the assembly and opposition was inching close to overthrow the government.

The results of the Khyber-Paktunkhwa local body elections have proved that people were no longer supporting the ruling PTI, he said. “Imran Khan can no longer address the people, the Election Commission of Pakistan should play its role [in this regard],” he added.

Responding to a question, the JUI-F chief said PML-N supremo and former PM Nawaz Sharif is a Pakistani citizen and no one can stop him from returning home.

Fazlur Rehman said that the entire nation is standing against PM Imran and he could gather his supporters in the federal capital at any time.

“Bureaucracy and establishment no longer follow [PM] Imran Khan's orders. He is wandering around like a crazy person. Opposition MNAs should not be intimidated in any way,” he added.
