• PM Imran Khan nominates Pervaiz Elahi as CM in Punjab.
• Tariq Bashir Cheema resigns as federal minister.
• CM Punjab Usman Buzdar tenders resignation from office.

ISLAMABAD: A rift has emerged in the PML-Q, an important ally of the government in the Centre and Punjab, regarding the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan after a party leader resigned from his post as federal minister.
Just minutes after the no-confidence motion was tabled against the prime minister in the NA, Federal Minister for Housing and Works Tariq Bashir Cheema stepped down from office.
Cheema had earlier sought permission from the party president, Shujaat, to step down as the federal minister. Today, the former prime minister allowed him.
"I have also decided to vote in favour of the no-confidence motion against the prime minister [...] I am not sure what the party will decide, but Chaudhry Shujaat and Pervaiz Elahi will make the same decision," Cheema told Geo News after the development.

The PML-Q leader said that the federal government has failed to bring stability to democratic institutions. He maintained the government has also failed to address serious issues of governance in the provinces.
However, Cheena has not resigned as a member of the NA. It is noteworthy that another member of PML-Q leader — Moonis — is part of the federal cabinet and holds the portfolio of water resources. But he has not resigned yet.

PML-Q to support PM: Gill​

Meanwhile, Special Assistant to PM on Political Communication (SAPM) Shahbaz Gill has claimed that the PML-Q will support PM Imran Khan amid the no-confidence motion against him.
"PTI will support Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi as a candidate for the chief minister [in Punjab] and the PML-Q has announced to support PM amid the no-confidence motion," Gill said.


The statement came after PM Imran Khan met Punjab Assembly Speaker Elahi, a top leader of the PML-Q, at Bani Gala just as the National Assembly approved to table the no-trust motion against the premier.
Subsequently, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib said Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has tendered his resignation.
The decision to tender his resignation came hours after the joint Opposition submitted a no-confidence motion against him in the Punjab Assembly.
Habib also confirmed Gill's announcement of the prime minister nominating PML-Q's Elahi for the top spot in Punjab — as the PTI cajoles allies to defeat the no-confidence motions in the NA and Punjab.
Later, PML-Q's leader Moonis Elahi — the son of Pervaiz Elahi — confirmed that the post has been accepted by the speaker of the Punjab Assembly.

This is bad decision for IK and will cost him a lot in next election.

Nope. Pervaiz Elahi was never an unpopular choice. The decision is unpopular but the person is not. The way he has in Punjab will also get a few MNAs on his side. See IK needed time and he did what he needed to do to buy that. For the detractors he was chutiya even before not getting blackmailed and they will call him chutiya again for getting blackmailed.

 

[blain2]

Even Choudries can be BOUGHT

Instead Choudries get sold to Opposition,.. IK Bought them

In long term, they will be considered in list of Buy-ables / Sold-ables

The difference being they were already supporting PTI and were with Treasury. So PTI/PMIK have only "retained" their support instead of buying them to come across the divide.

 

[yusufjee]

Suddenly MQM ki lottery nikal aai

Yeah those useless non existent good for nothing crooks.

 

[Path-Finder]

wasn't Pervaiz Elahi actually fairly effective as a CM back then?

yes he was.

The reaction of Bilawal, Zardari, and people standing in the back. The body language tells you it was an unexpected answer and Bilawal patting his back right away = STFU DUDE, Zardari reaching for his ears, a common reaction when something unexpected suddenly hits you or a lie has been told and the madame in the background is shocked AF. This is called political own goal.

Cheema na sari zindgi nhi banna wazeer , PMLN ma nawaz sharif PM nhi ban skta to in logon na kia ban jana ha waxeer jo bhagory hain ?

IMO, Imran Khan shouldn’t have gave cm to Parvez Elahi. Khan should have stood his ground and made no comprises. If allies didn’t like it they can join PDM. Khan if he lost no confidence right now but didn’t make any compromises imo he would come back with majority next election.
As a pti supporter 1 thing I hate about pti is they make such allegations then take a u turn an go against those allegations.

I still support Imran Khan but imo he shouldn’t have gave Elahi CM because Imran Khan’s whole narrative was not bending to pressure whether from allies or foreign.

Lol, might have saved himself some trouble and switched CM Punjab a long time ago.

How do PTI supporters feel about dumping Buzdaar? Genuine question.

 

[appliedfor]

game is over for PTI because of their defacted MNAs and Supreme court wont dis qualify them for life.

8 to 10 opposition members might not vote on voting day. ( could be another surprise)

Anyone have anymore information about this?

 

[Dil_Pakistan]

Elaborate this. How PTI will lose this?

PE won't bcm CM if IK govt. doesn't survives in centre..SCP has became irrelevent now..they anyways remain indecisive at all key moments...speaker role will come into play imo..
