Opposition stunt of no confidence after resignation and long March is a mere storm in a tea cup: Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar

Lahore, February 15, 2022 (PPI-OT):Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that opposition have now floated the stunt of no confidence motion after resignations and long march. He maintained that such elements can neither bring vote of no confidence nor tender resignations.

Opposition parties have no courage to hold long march, he added. CM emphasised that no confidence stunt merely equates to a storm in a tea cup. Usman Buzdar categorically remarked that the PTI government enjoys clear majority and lead in the matter of number game. He emphasised that even if all the opposition parties unite, no confidence motion would not succeed and their fruitless endeavours to bring vote of no confidence would go flat in coming days.

Usman Buzdar underscored that even if opposition wishes to bring no confidence motion, they can wilfully do so. CM stressed that the opposition will have to lick the dust as before. How come the opposition alliance on which their own political parties have expressed no confidence can gossip to bring no confidence against the government and it deems inappropriate, concluded CM Usman Buzdar.
