According to detail, Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a meeting of spokespersons and discussed the situation in the aftermath of the Senate elections and vote of confidence and strategy for Senate chairman and deputy chairman’s elections.
The meeting also mulled over legal options that could be used against Maryam Nawaz over her remarks that the PTI lawmakers voted in favour of Yousuf Raza Gilani after they were promised PML-N tickets in the next elections.
The remarks of the PML-N leader against law-enforcing authorities were also evaluated for possible action.
