ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday warned to block the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers (CMF) session if the no-confidence motion was not tabled on Monday.

Addressing a press conference after attending a joint meeting of the united opposition in Islamabad to discuss the country’s political situation, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari flanked by PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif and PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that we will observe a sit-in outside the National Assembly if they were not allowed to move a no-trust motion against the prime minister.

“We will see how the OIC moot takes place in Islamabad”, Bilawal threatened and strongly condemned the attack at Sindh House by PTI workers.

He asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to show a magical number of 172 else step down from his post.

Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif said that whatever happened at Sindh House was not a trivial matter.

He said that the attack on Sindh House was not only about the integrity of Sindh but it was an assault on Pakistan, adding that in a bid to preserve democracy in the country, the Opposition had to swallow a bitter pill and tolerate a lot of things.

“Although the PM accused us [the Opposition] of taking a bribe, the government’s allies are testifying that we did not take a single penny from anyone”, said Shehbaz.

PDM and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said the opposition has the required number to dethrone PM Imran Khan. He also condemned the attack on Sindh House.

Fazl claimed that the opposition has won the war against the incumbent government.
