Islamabad: In a bid to thwart the Opposition’s no-trust motion against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party on Thursday decided that the Sindh House here will not be allowed to turn into a “horse-trading hub”, according to a media report.
The Sindh House in Islamabad assumed importance after a top federal minister accused the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) of using the building for horse-trading and that the Opposition had detained some ruling party lawmakers there ahead of the vote on the no-confidence resolution against Prime Minister Khan.
During a political committee meeting of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, headed by Prime Minister Khan, it was decided to strictly monitor the lawmakers and the Sindh House, controlled by the PPP government in Sindh province, to “ensure that no one falls prey to horse-trading”, Geo News reported.
The Opposition PPP on Thursday alleged that the PTI-led government was planning an assault on the Sindh House in the federal capital.
They claimed they had information suggesting the Islamabad police and PTI’s Tiger Force were planning the “assault”.
The PPP parliamentarians said if there was any damage to Sindh House’s facilities or to their members then the government would be responsible.
