    ‘Will surprise one day before the vote of no-confidence’: Khan announces he will not resign

    Announcing that he will not resign in any case, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has said that he will fight the Opposition till the last ball and will give a surprise one day before the voting on the no-confidence motion, reports Geo News.

    Talking with journalists at the Prime Minister’s House, PM Khan said that the word “neutral” was misinterpreted. He said that the context of the word “neutral” was to promote goodwill and to prevent evil.

    PM Imran Khan said it was wrong to consistently attack and criticise the army as a powerful military was crucial for Pakistan. “Had the army not been here, the country would have split into three parts.”

    “The army should not be criticised for politicking,” he said.

    PM Khan further said that the politics of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is to cover up their theft.

    “Someone may have misunderstood that I will sit at home. I will not resign under any circumstances. I will not pull out from a fight,” said PM Khan.

    The premier said that he will win the match of no-confidence, and that he will not resign at the request of the corrupt gang.

    “The people are with me, 60 to 65 per cent of the honourable people are with me,” said the premier.

    The Prime Minister said that after March 27, his support will go above 90 per cent. “My trump card is that I have not shown any card yet,” said Khan.

    PM Imran Khan was asked about shaking hands with the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Shehbaz Sharif, to which he responded that he could not shake hands with a person steeped in corruption. “His [Shehbaz Sharif’s] politics will come to an end after his no-confidence motion.”

    “In which constitution is it to overthrow the government by spending money?” questioned the prime minister.

    The prime minister said he would “never” hold a consultative meeting with Shahbaz, as he stressed that the Sharif brothers — Shahbaz and Nawaz Sharif — and Asif Ali Zardari were “corruption brands” of Pakistan.

    When asked about former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar, PM Khan said that he met Chaudhry Nisar and has a 40-year-old relationship with him.

  • President, PM share special messages on Pakistan Day

    President, PM share special messages on Pakistan Day

    On the occasion of Pakistan Day, President Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan remarked in separate messages that the day will soon come when Pakistan will be economically powerful and successful, Radio Pakistan has reported.

    The President further said that the desire for a separate homeland for Muslims in the subcontinent has shown to be politically correct over time.

    Human rights violations in India’s illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, as well as persecution of minorities in India, he claims, are sufficient evidence that the Muslim leadership of the time foresaw what would happen to Muslims if they remained at the mercy of the Hindu majority in undivided India.

    In his message, the Prime Minister emphasised the need of adhering to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s ideals of Unity, Faith, and Discipline, as well as rededicating ourselves to the establishment of Pakistan as a truly democratic welfare state based on the Riyasat-e-Madina model.

    He claimed that the current administration had implemented long-term reforms and actions to reduce poverty and promote justice.

    The Prime Minister stated that the government’s focus will continue to be on marginalised groups in society in order to give them equal chances.
