PM meets Chaudhary brothers in Lahore today

ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Imran Khan has postponed the federal cabinet meeting and decided to meet Chaudhary brothers, the PML-Q top men and allies of ruling PTI, in Lahore today.

According to sources, during the meeting, the prime minister would discuss with Ch Shujaat Hussain and Ch Pervez Elahi the prevailing political situation and seek their cooperation to foil the no-confidence motion the joint opposition is possibly going to file in March.

PML-Q is the PTI's ally in Punjab and the central government, however, PML-Q has been approached by opposition to seek its support in ousting the PTI government.

The PM’s meeting with PML-Q leaders would be taking place days after their meeting with PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari last week.

During the visit, Prime Minister Imran Khan would also meet Chief Minister Usman Buzdar and Governor Ch Sarwar. The PM is also expected to meet his party MPAs. Meanwhile, the PM’s visit to Karachi, which was earlier expected soon after his Russia visit, was also postponed and is being rescheduled.

MQM-Pakistan key leader and Federal Minister Syed Amin Ul Haq is out of the country and is expected to return on March 4, so the PM’s visit would take place accordingly.
