ISLAMABAD: Senator Faisal Javed announced on Monday that voting on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan will take place on March 28.

The PTI leader confirmed the much-awaited date during an informal conversation with a private news channel at the Parliament House.

The Senator also told the media outlet that the National Assembly session has been requisitioned for March 21.

But later, the senator backtracked from the statement and tweeted that the vote on the no-confidence motion, without specifying a date, would take place after March 27.

"The biggest jalsa of Islamabad will take place on March 27 (Sunday). Prime Minister Imran Khan will deliver a historic speech. And the voting on the no-confidence motion will take place after March 27."

The senator confidently said that the no-trust motion against the premier would fail, while the people's confidence in the prime minister's leadership would bolster.

It is pertinent to mention here that on March 9, the Opposition had submitted the no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan, accusing him of mismanaging the economy and poor governance.

Despite the rising political tensions, the prime minister has time and again claimed that the government's allies and PTI lawmakers stand by him and would defeat the no-confidence motion.

PM Imran Khan vowed to fight any move to unseat him. "Whatever they do, I'm ready for that," he had told a gathering in Islamabad.
