Minister unaware of ‘written threat’ received by PM

By Ali Imran

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said on Monday that the next 72 hours were crucial, adding that the decision on no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan will be decided by March 30 or 31. The minister’s remarks came whilst addressing a press briefing in Islamabad where he said that there was still no confirmation about the resolution being presneted in today’s National Assembly session.
“Everything would be clear by March 31,” the minister said. “Situation can change even within an hour. The next 72 hours are very important; decisions will be made where they are supposed to be made.”
The minister further said that he had not seen any government (prime minister) complete its tenure. “PM Imran will play till the ‘last ball’,” the interior minister asserted.
“I stand with Prime Minister Imran Khan. He is not for sale and whoever is standing with him is not for sale,” he said. “The establishment is with Pakistan. It is for the opposition to produce 172 members on the no-trust voting day to show its strength, not the government,” he added.
