Sources further elaborated that PM Imran Khan will also meet the Chief Minister (CM) and Governor Punjab, while he will also meet the members of the cabinet and provincial assembly.

Earlier, the Opposition parties set the political temperature soaring in the country as PPP and JUI-F have put up an option to offer Punjab’s cheif ministership to PTI’s close aide PML-Q on the table before PML-N in a bid to move a no-confidence motion successfully against PM Imran Khan in the National Assembly (NA).

PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and JUI-F chief  Mualana Fazlur Rehman met PML-N president and opposition leader in the NA Shahbaz Sharif at his residence on Wednesday. According to the sources, in the meeting, opposition parties discussed the name of PML-Q leader Pervaiz Elahi for Punjab CM’s portfolio.
