PTI leader Asad Qaiser has a message for the PML-N and PPP coalition: “Show some grace and step aside from the government”.

In a media talk outside Adiala Jail, he said PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif had a “minority stake” in the elections and claimed that the public never gave him the mandate for the premiership.

“The PPP is telling the people that they are not a part of the government […] but you are taking the post of Senate chairman on their [PML-N’s] vote,” he lamented.

Qaiser further said that he could not understand what “formula” Senator Ishaq Dar had which was missing during his previous terms as the finance minister.
