He further wrote that other leaders only want to plunder national wealth.

یہ نہیں کہ سکتا تحریک انصاف کی حکومت perfect ہے ، عوام کی توقعات زیادہ ہیں اور کارکردگی کہیں بہترکرنےکی ضرورت بھی ہے لیکن حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اس وقت عمران خان اس ملک میں واحد امید ہے اس کے علاوہ صرف سیاسی مگر مچھ ہیں جو ملک کو دبوچنا چاہتے ہیں تاکہ بچے کچھے وسائل بھی ہڑپ کر سکیں

Prime Minister Imran Khan will seek a confidence vote in the National Assembly, or parliament’s lower house, today.

In the present scenario, Imran Khan must have the support of a simple majority of 172 lawmakers in the National Assembly, according to Article 91(7) of the Constitution.

However, as the seat of Daska NA-75 is vacant after Election Commission if Pakistan (ECP) nullified its results, Imran Khan will need the support of 171 lawmakers.
