PTI’s Babar Awan has claimed that the incoming government was being formed through “lotabazi”.

“I want to tell the turncoats that you will be disqualified under the spirit of Article 63 of the Constitution,” he warned. “We have the statements and affidavits of all these people.”

Article 63-A outlines the process to disqualify a lawmaker who votes against the party line in the assembly during the election of the prime minister or chief minister, vote of confidence or no-confidence and budget.

“The majority is standing today […] the future of the country lies in the hands of Pakistanis, not any mafia and those trying to impose a mafia in the country will be defeated,” Awan added.
