As Prime Minister Imran Khan faces a no-confidence motion by the opposition, he claimed on Thursday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government was stable and confident on the political front.

He was earlier talking with Punjab Governor Chaudhary Muhammad Sarwar and Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar, who called on him in Lahore today, according to Radio Pakistan.

PM Imran said that the first and most crucial phase was Islamabad on the political ground and added that decisions about the political situation of Punjab would be decided after consultations with all concerned stakeholders.
