After a meeting with the PPP chief at his residence, Bugti announced he would support the opposition in the wake of the no-confidence motion submitted against Premier Imran on March 8.

Bilawal further said, "The prime minister deceived his allies and didn't ensure justice to the people of Balochistan."

"We will take our revenge from a non-democratic man using democratic means and oust the PM through the parliament's vote," he added.

The Bhutto family's scion went on to felicitate everyone for an end to Imran's government, adding his party won't allow anyone to rig the no-trust vote in the National Assembly.

"We won't let Imran fulfil any of his wishes," he said terming "threats to impose a state of emergency, attack at the Parliament Lodges, and other steps a result of frustration in the government's ranks", saying "none of it would work any longer".

Concluding, the PPP chief also said the opposition will ensure that the process of Imran's removal remained peaceful.

On March 8, the united opposition front had filed a requisition for the no-confidence motion against the prime minister, pinning its hopes for its success on the estranged members of the ruling party and its allies.

For making the no-trust vote successful, the opposition needs to have the support of at least 172 of the total 342 members in the lower house of parliament to show a simple majority – leading to the choosing of a new prime minister.

Political analysts conjectured that the opposition could bag the support of 10 lawmakers or more from the ruling party or any of the allies as they had been in touch with it for quite some time now.
