LAHORE \/ PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has summoned a meeting of its parliamentary party in the Punjab Assembly to discuss options available for dislodging the alliance of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) ruling the province or at least barring it from dissolving the assembly.<\/p>\n
The parliamentary party will meet at PML-N\u2019s provincial secretariat in Model Town on Monday (today) under the chairmanship of opposition leader Hamza Shehbaz.<\/p>\n
PTI Chairman Imran Khan had announced in Rawalpindi on Saturday that party members would tender their resignations from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies, the two provinces where the Imran-led party is in power, to put pressure on the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government in Centre for early elections across the country.<\/p>\n
CM has lost majority in the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cNowhere in the Constitution has it been stated that the governor cannot summon a special session for taking a vote of confidence by the chief minister if the elected house of the relevant province is already in session,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, PPP has also begun seeking signatures of its Punjab Assembly members on a no-trust motion. As a couple of MPAs, including Syed Ali Haider Gilani, are presently abroad, they are being sent the document for signatures through courier service, a senior party leader told Dawn.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in a bid to pave the way for the PDM government in Punjab, PML-N leader Ishaq Dar called on PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari in Islamabad. The former president is expected to travel to Lahore soon for \u2018Mission Lahore\u2019.<\/p>\n
Sources in PPP said the purpose of \u2018Mission Lahore\u2019 is the ouster of the ruling PTI-PML-Q alliance and Mr Zardari will be staying in the provincial capital for a while to execute his strategy.<\/p>\n
According to sources, both leaders also discussed financial issues confronting Sindh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
