Qureshi said that the verdict on PTI’s petition regarding Article 63 (A) is due to come. He added that the votes of turncoats were not utilised in the no-trust motion due to the fear of the PTI’s petition.
He confirmed that Imran Khan will arrive in the Parliament tomorrow and also take part in the voting process. Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that he has raised objections over the nomination papers of Shehbaz Sharif but Ahsan Iqbal tried to confront it.
Qureshi said that it was not the duty of Ahsan Iqbal to confront his objections. He blamed Iqbal and other Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders for pressurising the NA secretary.
