ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid Ahmad on Monday said that Opposition was holding no power to topple the ruling party's leadership because of heavy mandate given by the people in the last election.

To another question, he said that PTI government would complete its constitutional tenure without facing any trouble from the Opposition parties.
