In a big blow, Sh Rashid announces support of opposition members who will not vote in favour NO Confidence Motion

During his presser today, the interior minister Sheikh Rashid has claimed that some opposition members would not go to parliament on the day of the no-trust vote. Terming those members "responsible", he said they understood that it would be "better" if PM Imran completed his tenure and early elections were called.
"The opposition has to rethink the situation in view of the global scenario," he added.
Last week, several lawmakers from the ruling PTI, who had been 'in hiding' at the Sindh House in Islamabad, revealed link themselves — proving that opposition claims of having won over members of the ruling coalition were indeed true.
The revelation came after PM Imran and some cabinet ministers accused the opposition of indulging in horse-trading ahead of the crucial vote on the no confidence resolution, disclosing that Sindh House in Islamabad had become a centre for buying and purchasing members.
But while government members continued to claim that these dissidents had "sold their souls for money", a number of TV channels that sent their teams into Sindh House to verify the claims were faced with nearly a dozen PTI members, who poured their hearts out and laid bare all their gripes with the ruling party.
