To another question, he said that you must not try to create a dispute between the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) as they all were struggling for a greater cause. He said that in his view the no-confidence motion should be tabled against the prime minister and the speaker National Assembly both.

On the question of the sit-in protest, the chairman PPP said that their intent was to fight democratically and if there was no hurdle in the long march then they would not need to take extreme steps.

“The government members are joining us and if allied parties support us then the success will be near to certain. The government is trying to make the institution disputed our demand is neutrality from the establishment,” he said adding that if he give the list of the government members supporting them in the no-confidence motion then Imran Khan would make them missing persons.
