‘Resign before we table no-confidence,’ Bilawal Bhutto gives an ultimatum to PM Khan

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari asked Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan to resign before the vote of no-confidence is tabled in the National Assembly. He also challenged PM Khan to dissolve the assembly as “he has always threatened to do”.

“Even if he does not resign and dissolve the assembly, the Opposition is well prepared. We will bring the no-confidence motion and take this democratic war to parliament. We will be successful,” said Bilawal Bhutto on Sunday. He said he cannot guarantee 100 per cent success of the no-confidence move.

“If we succeed, it will be a great achievement but even if we do not, I will not back down and continue my struggle.”

The PPP Chairman was speaking in Lahore at Nadeem Afzal Chan’s residence.
