F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: Underscoring the fact that winning or losing are part of the politics, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said on Tuesday that Prime Minister Imran Khan would fight till the very end.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad after attending the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) political committee meeting, he praised Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid’s (PML-Q) decision to vote against the no-trust motion submitted by the opposition against the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government in the National Assembly (NA).
He hoped that April 3, the day of voting on the motion, would pass off peacefully.
The interior minister said it was his desire that Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) too threw its weight behind the PTI government and the opposition failed to complete the numbers required in the NA to overthrow the government. “The decision MQM-P takes today will be a big one,” he said, and expressed the hope that those who had received money from the foreign powers to oust the government would at last taste defeat.
He rejected reports of a ‘revolt’ within the PML-Q over the party high-command’s decision to support the government.
Rasheed said that he was in the favour of holding elections in the country immediately.
“Pindi is Pindi. If the GHQ has decided to remain neutral in the present situation, it is good,” he said while referring to Pakistan Army’s top brass headquartered in Rawalpindi.
