ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Khurshid Shah has said that the joint Opposition would shift their targets towards the Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Sardar Usman Buzdar and Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi after removing the incumbent prime minister from his office.

“After the no-confidence motion [is passed] against Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, we will divert our attention towards chief minister of Punjab and speaker Pervaiz Elahi.” the veteran politician said while talking to the journalists in Islamabad on Saturday.

“Chairman Senate Sajid Sanjrani is also trying to persuade his party [Balochistan Awami Party] members to support the Opposition’s no-confidence,” the PPP leader said.

Parallel to this, BAP President Jam Kamal Khan had told Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad that his party can make decisions for themselves.

The interior minister had earlier in the day said that the BAP, an ally of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in Balochistan and Punjab, would stand by PM Imran Khan in the face of Opposition’s no-confidence motion.

The Opposition parties moved a no-confidence motion seeking to ouster the Pm Imran Khan on March 8, accusing him of mishandling the economy and poor governance.
