During a press conference, Hamza said that the Opposition had more than 200 numbers and if Parvez Elahi has the required numbers, then why is he postponing the Punjab Assembly session over and over again. 

The PML-N leader said that PM Imran Khan and his allies were violating the Constitution openly. "Their workers and leaders broke into a hotel and tried to attack our members. The Supreme Court has taken notice of the matter," he added.
