Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) President and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has decided to set up a base camp in Islamabad in order to ensure the success of the no-confidence move, the opposition parties plan to bring against Prime Minister Imran Khan in the National Assembly (NA), reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.  

Sources told 24News TV channel that after addressing a public gathering in Hangu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) day after tomorrow (Wednesday, February 20), Maulana would go to the federal capital and hold meetings with politicians and leaders of different political parties there in order to win their support for the no-trust motion.

Besides that, JUI-F chief had also convened his party’s meeting in Islamabad on February 22, the sources said, adding he would hold consultations with the leaders of other opposition parties for the formation of a committee, which would muster the support of maximum number of MNAs in order to show the government the door.
