ISLAMABAD: Three federal ministers reportedly met with Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) ministers Moonis Elahi and Tariq Bashir Cheema in Islamabad to seek their assurance ahead of voting on the no-confidence motion, ARY News reported quoting sources.

Sources privy to the development told ARY News that, PML-Q leaders Moonis Elahi and Tariq Bashir Cheema made it clear to PTI ministers that PML-Q will leave with no other option to support opposition if treasury lawmakers crossed the floor.

“15 govt lawmakers are in contact with opposition parties and if they voted against PM Imran Khan then we would be left with no other option to support opposition benches,” the PML-Q leader was quoted as saying.
