Talking to political parties is our political right. PTI’s conscientious people are against the government. People are suffering at the hands of incompetent government.”

Shehbaz said, “Nothing is final in politics. We want a people’s government. Unfortunately, the most corrupt government [of the PTI] has made life difficult for the people.”

“We will go to the nation after constitutionally removing the elected government. The no-confidence motion is not the will of an individual, but the wish of 22-crore [people of Pakistan].”
