LAHORE, March 27: The federal government has conveyed to its key ally in Centre and Punjab, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) that it could not give slot of chief minister Punjab to the party in return of supporting a no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The sources in the government said that the PML-Q has been conveyed that they could take the slot if PML-N is promising to give it to them in exchange of voting against PM Imran Khan in the no-trust move.
“We are ready to give any other concessions to them other than giving chief minister’s slot,” they said. The response came after sources privy to talks between federal ministers and PML-Q leaders claimed that the key ally in the Centre has asked the government to bring clarity on replacement of chief minister in Punjab.
“We want a clear stance on CM slot,” the Q-League leaders conveyed with government team assuring that they would respond after consultations with Prime Minister Imran Khan. – DNA
