ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha has hinted at the opposition’s plan to bring a no-trust move against the federal government in the last week of February.
Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha, while talking to Samaa TV programme Nadeem Malik Live on Tuesday, claimed that a no-trust move will be brought by the opposition parties in the last week of February.
He said that discussions were underway for a long time to make advancements in the ongoing anti-government movement. He detailed that PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif was in talks with Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) head Maulana Fazlur Rehman and he also contacted Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) top leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain.
To a question, Ranjha replied that the Chaudhry brothers were fully aware of the current political situation as they have to contest the next elections on the basis of performance.

In another development yesterday, a delegation of an ally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in the Centre, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) met PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore.
After holding a meeting with MQM-P delegation, Shehbaz Sharif told the journalists that MQM-P leaders will have to make a decision at the earliest, otherwise, they would be answerable to the nationals.
Split within PML-N ranks
Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) has been going through an internal split within its ranks after the central leadership met Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) top leaders.
The opposition parties have planned to oust the incumbent government led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and decided to go ahead for achieving the goal via joint efforts, however, they have once again failed to agree on one-point agenda regarding the strategy.
The political position of PML-N has seemingly weakened after holding a meeting with PPP top leaders, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Asif Ali Zardari, at a luncheon organised by its president Shehbaz Sharif.
PML-N still undecided on strategy to oust PTI govt
Sources privy to the developments in the recent meeting between PML-N and PPP leaders said that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari invited PML-N to join the PPP-led long march. On the other hand, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif showed conditional agreement to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s invitation if PPP converts its long march into a sit-in in Islamabad. Bilawal rejected to accept the condition.
Sources told News360 that Shehbaz Sharif was agreed to welcome PPP in Punjab during its long march. Moreover, he urged PPP leaders to bring a no-confidence motion in the National Assembly as nearly 20 PTI lawmakers are in the contact with PML-N.
To this, Asif Ali Zardari raised a question before PML-N of the reason for the opposition’s back-to-back defeats in blocking the passage of the government’s legislation in the National Assembly.

Bilawal offered PML-N to bring a no-confidence motion in Punjab then PPP will choose the option of the sit-in.
Sources told News360 that Shehbaz Sharif apprised PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif regarding the details of his meeting with PPP top leaders. Nawaz Sharif suggested Shehbaz summon a meeting of the party’s central executive committee (CEC) to review the proposals given in the meeting before taking a final decision.
Sources revealed that former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi expressed serious reservations over the discussions in the recent meeting between PML-N and PPP.
On the other hand, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) head and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) supremo Maulana Fazlur Rehman kept a complete silence over the meeting which indicated that he was kept away from the proposals and discussions held between PPP and PML-N leaders.
