ISLAMABAD – Amid the drastic changes in the country’s politics, PML-Q leader and Federal Minister for Housing Tariq Bashir Cheema has stepped down from the post.
Reports in local media said Cheema decided to quit as he showed dissent against voting in support of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Cheema also announced issuing a detailed statement soon. The seasoned politician parted ways with the party as PTI nominated Chaudhry Pervez Elahi for the seat of Chief Minister Punjab.
The development comes after the premier managed to woo PML-Q leaders ahead of the no-trust motion.
