PM’s position to be clearer after two days, claims Sh Rasheed
Says country is moving towards anarchy: Ch Shujaat is like his brother and he respects him very much: Govt wants to take allies along
Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed Sunday said that it was a prerogative of the National Assembly speaker to convene the assembly session after March 15 and added that Prime Minister Imran Khan’s position would be clearer in the following two days, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the interior minister expressed his respect for Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and called him his brother.
He said people got angry when he stated that parties with four to five seats were blackmailing the government.
“But I took the name of neither PML-Q nor Chaudhry Brothers. I owe a great deal to the PML-Q elders – Chaudhry Zahoor Elahi and Khawaja Safdar,” he said and added that the mother of Chaudhry Shujaat used to send meal to him when he was in jail.
“The government wants to take the allies along,” he stated.
He also said that the decision of the National Assembly speaker could not be challenged in any court, adding that the country should be moving towards democracy but it was heading towards anarchy.
He claimed that none of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) workers was arrested and also vowed to crush any militia force if it came to Islamabad.
The interior minister also expressed his unflinching support to the prime minister, stating that Imran Khan was going nowhere and he would complete his five-year tenure.
