ISLAMABAD: The fate of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is now linked with the decision of its ally party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) on the no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The political temperature has risen once again in terms of the no-trust move against PM Imran Khan as the ally parties are reaching a conclusive end to take their sides whether it is the PTI government or the opposition.
After Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) chose to remain as a coalition partner of PM Khan, efforts are underway by the PTI government and the opposition to appease MQM-P.
