Despite the federal government’s tactics, the PTI and its allies managed to complete the tallies in the Punjab Assembly ahead of the trust vote.
The claims of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Rana Sanaullah and Attaullah Tarar proved false when the remaining PTI and PML-Q MPAs, Javed Akhtar and Ammar Yasir reached the assembly hall.
