Says decision to choose independent foreign policy or slavery to be made on Sunday
ISLAMABAD
Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he will not resign and fight till the last ball so that people, who do not want independent policy in Pakistan, can be exposed before the entire nation.
In his televised address to the nation on Thursday, the prime minister said that it will be decided on Sunday whether the nation will pursue an independent foreign policy or toe the policy of slavery.
Talking about a foreign communication, encompassing threats to his government, the prime minister expressed the determination that he will never let the foreign conspiracy succeed to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty and independence. The prime minister said the entire nation will witness those who are going to sell their conscience on Sunday, which is the voting day on the no-confidence motion against him.
He said these sold-out souls should keep it in mind that the people of Pakistan will never forgive them for betraying the nation.
Referring to opposition leaders, he said some stooges are trying to compromise the country’s interest and to appease foreign forces for their personal agenda. He said a country’s credibility is on stake if it does not pursue an independent foreign policy. He questioned how a foreign country can dictate an independent and sovereign nation to pursue a particular policy.
The prime minister said that from day one, he has been saying that Pakistan’s foreign policy will be people-centric. He added, “Pursuing an independent foreign policy does not mean that we want an enmity with any country or nation.”
Mentioning the dictates in the foreign communication, he said it is an official document, which entails that the no-confidence motion should be successful to oust Imran Khan; otherwise there will be difficulties for Pakistan. He added that the foreign communication carries even the worst threats he has mentioned so far.
The prime minister was of the view that no independent country can tolerate such kind of threats. He said the opposition leaders are directly involved in this conspiracy aimed at undermining Pakistan’s sovereignty. He said these leaders are convicted from the courts and fully doused in corruption to the core and how a civilised nation can let them lead the people.
