PML-Q leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said that his party has not quit the ruling coalition nor has it joined the opposition.

"Prime Minister Imran Khan is honest and his intentions are also good," Elahi said on Wednesday in a statement that could be considered a fence mending move.

The statement comes a day after a TV interview in which the Punjab Assembly speaker said that the opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) has the support of more lawmakers than the required number for the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister a success.

Opposition has support of more lawmakers than needed to oust PM Imran: Pervez Elahi

Speaking to Hum News on Tuesday, he said that the opposition has the support of more than the 172 lawmakers’ required to make the no-confidence vote in the National Assembly a success.

"It is Khan sahab's duty to reverse the tilt. But I believe the time to send delegations has passed," he said adding that the government has never learnt how to build relationships and has ruined things with everyone.

Elahi said that he has already been offered Punjab’s chief ministership by the opposition alliance but the government has not made any offer and that the commitments made to his party had not been honoured.

The PML-Q leader also urged both the government and the opposition to call off their planned power shows, saying that such confrontations would not be in the interest of the country and would not benefit anyone.

BAP, MQM-P, and PML-Q, the government's allies, have been holding meetings with each another and with the opposition parties as both the opposition and the government are seeking their support to complete their numbers.

It is noteworthy that the three allies have 17 representatives in the National Assembly. If these parties join the opposition, the PTI government's strength will fall to 162 from 179.
