JKT group to play key role in success or failure of no-confidence motion
PM Khan brought PML-Q to government side, however, the JKT group will play a kkey role in the success or failure of the no-confidence motion.
ISLAMABAD: In a latest political move, Prime Minister Imran Khan has successfully brought Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML-Q) to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government side by offering Punjab chief ministership to Pervaiz Elahi, whereas, the importance of the Jahangir Khan Tareen (JKT) group is increased for the success or failure of the no-confidence motion.
On the other hand, another ally party of the PTI government, the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) decided to choose the opposition side in the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan.
The JKT group is likely to play an important role in the success or failure of the no-trust move. The PTI government has continued efforts to gain the support of the JKT group, whereas, the premier gave an important task to the nominated Punjab CM Pervaiz Elahi to appease the dissident lawmakers.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) has also signalled their inclination toward the government side once again following the political developments, however, it did not announce its final decision.
It may be noted here that the JKT group has more members of the provincial assembly (MPAs) as compared to the members of the National Assembly (MNAs) that will play a crucial political role in the Punjab province. However, the dissident PTI MNAs of the JKT group, mostly from South Punjab districts, are present in the Sindh House.
Following Monday’s developments, the JKT group is expected to take a final decision soon.
Political analysts said that the government and the opposition have now gotten less time to take their decisions as the no-confidence motion was tabled in the National Assembly yesterday and the speaker is now bound to conduct voting within the next seven days.
Sources said that the PTI government is holding backdoor talks with the JKT group to address their reservations, however, the major demand of the JKT like-minded lawmakers was fulfiled by removing Usman Buzdar from the Punajb CM position.
