PESHAWAR: A member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Jahangir Tareen group Raja Riaz has said that at least 24 Members of National Assembly (MNAs) are staying at Sindh House Islamabad.
Talking to Geo News anchor Hamid Mir at Sindh House, Raja Riaz claimed that they have taken shelter in in Sindh House due to fear of attack on Parliament Lodges. Responding to the allegations of “sack of notes” and “horse trading” in Sindh House, Riaz said that they disagree with Imran Khan so they will decide according to their conscience on the no-confidence motion against the prime minister.
