LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) reportedly asked its Sindh ministers to reach Lahore in wake of no-confidence motion moved against Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi.

Sources privy to development told that senior minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has reached Lahore where he will hold meetings with Punjab MPAs to seek their support ahead of no-confidence vote against Punjab CM, Speaker and Deputy Speaker.

Ministers staying at Sindh House have also been asked to reach Lahore immediately, they say.

Furthermore, Sindh Assembly ongoing session has also been postponed.

Opposition parties, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz and Pakistan Peoples’ Party late Monday submitted no-trust motion against Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi, Punjab Assembly Speaker Sibtain Khan and Deputy Speaker Wasiq Qayyum Abbasi.

Soon after no-confidence motion was submitted, Governor Punjab Baligh ur Rehman directed Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi to seek vote of confidence from Punjab Assembly on December 21.
