Sanjrani vows to support PM on no-trust vote issue

Says he will ask his party to support the premier

ISLAMABAD:

Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on Monday vowed to support Prime Minister Imran Khan in his personal capacity on the issue of no-trust vote.

Responding to a journalist question in Islamabad, the Senate chairman said that his party had not taken any decision on the no-confidence motion yet. Sanjrani said he would ask his party to support PM Imran on the issue.

On March 8, the united opposition front submitted a no-confidence motion against the premier while pinning its hopes for the success of the motion on the estranged members of the ruling party and its allies.

The submission of the motion was followed by a press conference by the top leadership of the opposition parties, including PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, JUI-F and PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PPP leader Asif Zardari, who said that the days of the prime minister were “numbered” and that “no rhetoric could save him” anymore.
