Prime Minister Imran Khan Monday reiterated that the opposition had been making attempts to get an NRO from him for the last three-and-a-half years, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The prime minister during telephonic conversation with the people of Pakistan said the opposition had been claiming for the last three-and-a-half years that the government was incompetent.
“They had also been demanding new elections in the country. Now, the question is, why did they approach the Supreme Court when I have declared general elections in the country?” he questioned.
He said that a conspiracy was being hatched against the country, announcing a peaceful protest would be held outside Red Zone that night against those who sold out their conscience.
“I have received news that MPAs are being brought to a hotel in Lahore. People who are against the horse-trading have vowed to protest outside that hotel,” he said and added that the purchase and sale of MPAs was the politics of Changa Manga.
“The farce of no-confidence motion started five weeks ago. Democracy has lost its worth in the eyes of the people due to the politics of Changa Manga. It’s not democracy to form a government after purchasing MPAs,” said the premier.
He said that the no-confidence motion tabled by the opposition was a foreign-imported conspiracy. “Therefore, the National Assembly deputy speaker gave a ruling against it,” maintained the premier.
“Nawaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar sit abroad. They had been convicted by courts,” added he and maintained that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) had been swept from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
