In a surprising move, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Monday retracted a no-confidence motion it had submitted against the speaker and deputy speaker of the Punjab Assembly.
A source told news TV that the PML-N has decided to alter its strategy in countering Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in their bid to dissolve the provincial assembly.
Taking a page from their opponent’s political playbook, the PML-N has now decided to undertake a proverbial ‘U-turn’ on its stance of seeking no-confidence against the speaker and deputy speaker of the provincial assembly.
The PML-N, which leads the opposition in the provincial assembly had simultaneously moved motions seeking votes of no-confidence against the leader of the house – Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi, the Speaker Muhammad Sibtain Khan, and Deputy Speaker Wasiq Qayyum Abbasi.
“Political pundits call it a significant U-turn of PML-N,” the source told.
