Looks like the government has sensed its defeat, as after Prime Minister Imran Khan’s marathon speech last night that echoed the pleads of a beleaguered man, the interior minister too sounded pessimistic today (Monday) when the latter said that no government had completed its term in Pakistan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing a presser in Islamabad ahead of the tabling of no-confidence resolution in the National Assembly, Sheikh Rashid said that the air regarding the no-trust move would be cleared till March 31. If the resolution will be tabled today, then voting will be held on Monday and things would become clear.
However, he said the situation could be changed even in the last hour.
He rued that no government had been allowed to complete its term in Pakistan.
He refuted the notion that he was a spokesperson for state institutions. “I’m not the mouthpiece of state institutions,” he remarked.
On the claim made by Prime Minister Imran Khan in his speech last night that he had proof in the shape of a letter (which the PM showed to the audience) regarding a foreign-funded conspiracy to topple his government, the interior minister expressed his total ignorance saying he had no knowledge of the existence of such letter.
He, however, said that since Imran Khan was making an independent foreign policy, the countries which are poor, they often become target of the foreign conspiracies.
He lashed out at those who took vote in the name of Imran Khan on the PTI ticket, but deserted him. He dubbed them traitors and turncoats. He said though he fought the election on his own party ticket but he never thought of ditching Imran. He said he was heading 15th ministry while pledging his and his workers’ support for Imran ‘no matter he gets ministry or not’.
He said people should gauge the popularity of PM Khan seeing the magnitude of his yesterday’s rally.
He said that the JUI could not hold a rally today but the PML-N could hold a public gathering in Islamabad today.
