Soon after Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto said that the Imran Khan-led government could be toppled within a week “if Zardari allowed”, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) also threatened to overthrow the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in the centre, a private media outlet reported Monday.

As per the details, PML-N stalwart Ahsan Iqbal, while speaking to the media outlet, said the PTI government could be ousted if the opposition wanted so.

He said a session of the National Assembly is expected to be held on January 10, during which opposition parties will make a decision together.

Iqbal said they had conveyed to the PPP members that if they were serious, then they should adopt a democratic way for a change in the Senate.

He said when he headed the Ministry of Interior, he never gave directives to either speed up or halt proceedings of any case.

It is pertinent to mention here that PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, earlier in the day, said that his party could topple the PTI government within a week if former president Asif Ali Zardari gave it a go-ahead.

“I have got 99 seats in Sindh. They need 49 members to topple the Sindh government,” he remarked, saying that it was only a matter of six seats in the centre and the government would be toppled.
