PDM govt ready to take vote of confidence: Hussain

SHEIKHUPRA: Federal Education Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain has said that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) will give three names for the caretaker government in Punjab on Monday (today).

“There should be a caretaker government that conducts fair and transparent elections in the Punjab province.”

In a media talk in Sheikhupra on Sunday, Rana Tanveer Hussain said that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) led government was ready to take the vote of confidence as it has required members in the National Assembly.

He said that the elections will be held in the Punjab province only where the assembly has been dissolved. “PTI will now have to face failure.”

Rana Tanveer disclosed PTI is yet reluctant to dissolve the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly.

“After the dissolution of provinces’ assemblies, Imran Khan’s empire will be no more,” he predicted.

Holding Imran Khan responsible for the current economic crisis of the country, the minister claimed that Pakistan was going well till 2018.

He said PDM led government is trying to fix the economy of the country and it will take at least one and a half years at least.

Talking about the MQM’s recent development, the minister claimed that MQM is an integral part of the government and will remain with the coalition government.

He said that government representatives should be allowed to conduct election campaigns in their respective constituencies.

‘Punjab people got rid of incompetent govt’

Meanwhile, Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal has said the people of Punjab have got rid of the incompetent and corrupt government.

Addressing a press conference in Narowal on Sunday, he claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan himself gave an end to a government that was formed after rigging.

“The mandate of Pakistan’s biggest province was stolen from the PML-N in the 2018 election,” he recalled.

The minister alleged that PTI’s Punjab government had committed corruption of billions of rupees in the name of development works.  Ahsan Iqbal further alleged that Imran Khan transferred Punjab’s funds to other provinces.

He termed the dissolution of the Punjab Assembly a “blunder” by the PTI, saying that PML-N will defeat Imran Khan in the election easily.
