Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Monday joint opposition will face defeat in its bid to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan from government, adding that government will face the whole situation in a political and democratic manner in accordance with the spirit of the constitution.
While talking to reporters on Monday, the foreign minister asked PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to ‘not to drag institutions into politics’. He said PPP leadership is resorting to undemocratic and unconstitutional tactics and offering money to buy the loyalties of elected representatives.
“PTI government has full confidence in its allies including PML-Q, MQM-Pakistan and Balochistan Awami Party (BAP). Our allies always stood by the government in the past and we are grateful to them,” Shah Mehmood said, adding that leadership of allied parties comprises of seasoned politicians who cannot be hoodwinked by the opposition parties.
The Foreign Minister said the unholy alliance amongst the opposition parties is a marriage of convenience which is not durable and will shatter soon. He pointed out that these opposition parties have no common ideology. He said their only agenda is to oust Prime Minister Imran Khan and everybody knows as to why they are scared of Imran Khan.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the drama staged by the opposition parties is not benefiting the economy or the business environment in the country.
Alluding to the situation on the global front, the Foreign Minister said that the government will move forward keeping in view the national interests.
