“Pervaiz Elahi is not willing to become chief minister, however, some people are present around the premier who wants to fail him. Some former members of PML-Q are misguiding PM Imran Khan.”

Meanwhile, MQM-P Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui has also resigned from the federal cabinet citing lack of implementation on the promises made by the incumbent government for urban areas of the Sindh province at the time of joining the coalition government.
