Earlier, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has termed the PDM decision to introduce a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan a victory for democracy.
In a post on Twitter, Bilawal while reacting to the PDM's decision of bringing about the motion said: “It is a victory for democracy that most opposition parties now agree to bring a no-confidence motion against the government. The PM has lost the confidence of the people and it is about time he lost the confidence of Parliament.”
