On February 11, Maulana Fazl announced that the opposition had decided to bring a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government, but refrained from giving a time frame for the move.

“We will first do our homework, so we cannot talk about the definite timeframe for this move,” he said while addressing the media after a meeting of the opposition alliance.

Fazl said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) had announced the no-trust motion at this stage “because we have a firm intention of doing so.”

PDM announces no-confidence motion against PM Imran’s government

Earlier this week, PDM gave Asif Ali Zardari the task to complete the required votes to win the no-confidence motion against the premier.

The decision was made during the PDM's meeting that was chaired by the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

The participants of the meeting reportedly decided to keep the matters pertaining to the no-confidence motion extremely secret to surprise the government.
