Imran Khan held a meeting with his officials before the start of the National Assembly session.
Meanwhile, there are also reports of postponement of the voting session. Federal Minister for Information and Law Fawad Chaudhry had said that the no-confidence can be shifted to next week. “Voting on no-trust motion can shift to next week,” said the minister to Pakistan’s Geo News.
The opposition has made it clear that the no-confidence vote should not be postponed. “We have conveyed to the speaker that there is no way except voting on the no-trust move today. If there will be no voting then it will be tantamount to contempt of court,” said an official to ARY News.
