PM will not be allowed to become a 'political martyr'

A day earlier, PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had said PM Imran Khan would not be allowed to become a "political martyr" amid worsening crisis in the country after the Opposition filed a no-trust motion against the premier.

During Geo News programme Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Kay Saath, Bilawal had congratulated people, saying PM Imran Khan had lost the majority’s support and his government had "collapsed".

The PPP leader had further added that the premier attempted to terrorise the Opposition by “first attacking the Parliament Lodges and then Sindh House, but we won’t be cowed down.”

He had said the use of force by the prime minister is a violation of Article 6 of the Constitution.
