ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan is likely to meet top Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leaders, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, to discuss a no-trust move against him, ARY NEWS reported.

According to sources privy to the details, the development came after the highest-level contact between the ruling party and PML-Q today where it was agreed that the Chaudhry brothers will meet Imran Khan.

“A consultation will be made on the no-trust move during the meeting,” they said and added, “the government will take PML-Q into confidence over the measures it has taken to foil the move.”
