Lahore [Pakistan], February 23 : The opposition parties in Pakistan have come together to send home the Imran Khan government, which is trying to annex the rights of the nation, local media reported.

The rulers trying to usurp the nation will be sent back home in accordance with the wishes of the people, said a joint declaration by PMLN President Mian Shehbaz Sharif and PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari after the two held a meeting in Lahore.

Meanwhile, in the meeting held between Shehbaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari, the two leaders also discussed the votes required to make a no-trust motion against Imran Khan a success.

Opposition parties like PPP, PMLN, and the allies of Imran Khan - Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) are setting aside their differences to ouster 'Kaptaan' (Imran Khan).
PPP and PML-N have announced separate long marches on Islamabad with the former's starting on February 27 and the latter's March 23.
