ISLAMABAD: The Opposition decided to submit the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan for the betterment of Pakistan, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif said on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference flanked by former president and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and JUI chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman; he said: “We have taken this decision for the people of Pakistan and not for ourselves.”
The incumbent PTI government has “mortgaged our future generations by taking hefty loans,” he added.
Shahbaz accused the PTI-led government to have “reinstalled the development projects which were initiated by the previous government and claiming them as their own projects.”
“They criticised China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project when they were in the Opposition; however, they are now taking credit for it,” he said.
Shedding light on PM Imran Khan’s speech on Sunday, he said: “The PM has angered the international allies of Pakistan who stood by the country in good and bad times.”
“The language used against the European Union was inappropriate so much so that not a single word can be repeated here,” Shahbaz said, recalling PM Imran Khan’s speech during a public rally in the Tehsil Mailsi of the Vehari District two days ago.
