“If the opposition does not take a united stand here then we will be blamed for it. It’s ultimately the public that we have to go back to at the time of elections.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Islamabad, Feb 17 (AsiaFreePress):\u00a0<\/strong>Pakistan Muslim league (Nawaz)\u00a0Vice President Maryam Nawaz said on Thursday that the opposition’s planned no-trust motion against the government is “a risk that should be taken” since Prime Minister Imran Khan was “on his last legs”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking to reporters after appearing at the Islamabad High Court in the Avenfield Apartments case, Maryam was asked if Shehbaz Sharif would resign as PML-N president if the “no-confidence gamble” failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryam responded that she was hopeful of the move’s success “because Imran is on his last legs and it’s a risk that should be taken”, adding that the messages sent by her party to disgruntled lawmakers were also applicable to the PML-N itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She did not elaborate on who she was referring to as “disgruntled” lawmakers or what messages were sent to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If the opposition does not take a united stand here then we will be blamed for it. It’s ultimately the public that we have to go back to at the time of elections.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to a question on whether she supported another extension for the army chief, Maryam said “it’s a premature question and we don’t have any details before us”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryam also commented on the recent media reports on the premier’s wife, saying Prime Minister Imran Khan must treat all women even-handedly and set the same standards he wanted for his wife for every woman.
