AT least 24 PTI MNAs were reportedly staying at the Sindh House due to "security threats" after a police operation at the Parliament Lodges. They had also announced to vote on the no-trust motion despite the PTI announcing to skip the voting.

The federal government had hinted at imposing the governor's rule to stop the "illegal" activity of "horsetrading" taking place there.

According to reports, some of the MNAs have been moved to Sindh and were evacuated in different vehicles today early morning.
