PM has no choice but to accept defeat, resign: Sherry Rehman

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Vice-President Senator Sherry Rehman on Friday said Prime Minister Imran Khan had no choice but to accept the defeat and step down.

“Imran Khan is misstating, this is not a battle of good and evil. It is a battle between those who violate the Constitution and those who abide by it. This is a battle between the anti-people government and the pro-people opposition.

“Those who criticised democracy are now telling people to come out and support democracy. Today it will be known who upholds democracy and the constitution,” Sherry Rehman tweeted.

آج معلوم ہو جائے گا جمہوریت اور آئین کی پاسداری کون کرتا ہے۔ شکست سے بچنے کے لئے تاخیری حربے استعمال کرنے والے نیکی اور جمہوریت کی پرچار کیسے کر سکتے ہیں۔ وزیراعظم کے پاس شکست قبول کرنے اور مستعفی ہونے کے علاوہ کوئی آپشن نہیں۔ لوگوں کو انتشار پر اکسانے سے حکومت نہیں بچ سکتی۔ 2/2

On March 18, Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had claimed that it was the first time that no one was buying or selling votes for the success of no-trust motion.

In an official statement, the PML-Q leader had said that he had been observing it in newspapers and on TV that “bundles of notes” were being distributed ahead of the no-confidence motion.

He had termed such reports a “propaganda”

Shujaat had further said that even Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that “bundles of notes” were being distributed among PTI disgruntled MNAs at the Sindh House.
