Sindh House has become the centre of attention as the Opposition and government scramble for votes on the no-confidence motion.
The development took place after the PTI alleged that horse-trading was happening there and many PTI lawmakers were staying there.
So far, only Raja Riaz and Nawab Sher Waseer have come out in the open for being present in the Sindh House, saying that they have shifted to the building as they feared the government would take action against them.
