RAWALPINDI
\nAwami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad said on Friday the entire country had been put on high alert as foreign exchange reserves had dropped to an alarming level of below $6 billion.
\nTaking to Twitter, he said it appeared that the 13-party coaltion had faded as they were involved in trivial matters such as helicopter landing [a reference to the KP CM helicopter].
\nExposing the country\u2019s economic situation, the former minister said \u201cwe have to see whether or not Saudi Arabia and China will lend Pakistan Rs3 billion each.\u201d Negotiations with the IMF, he said, also hanged in the balance. He was of the view that there was no provision of a technocratic government in the Constitution and that an interim government could be formed for the next general election.
\nMr Rashid further said rather than becoming part of any war against terrorism, Pakistan should eliminate the menace of terrorism from its soil. He suggested inclusion of the new election agenda in the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
