Bargainers won’t be able to save reputation: Sheikh Rashid

LAHORE, February 25: Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Friday warned that those involved in bargaining with the opposition would suffer severe humiliation that they would not be able to save their reputation.
Addressing a press conference, the interior minister said that Prime Minister Imran Khan would play the trump card against all the ‘bargainers’, adding that he would emerge even tougher after the failure of no-confidence motion.
He also maintained that Imran Khan would complete his five-year tenure as prime minister, adding that the ‘bargainers’ would not be able to bring about any change. “Results are bad when democracy becomes a business,” he added.
The minister said all PTI members and its allies fully supported the decisions of Prime Minister Imran Khan, adding that those who would quit the alliance at this time would stand no where in future. The PTI’s allies would always stand by the government and Prime Minister Imran Khan, he added.
Sh Rashid Ahmed said that the opposition should not underestimate Prime Minister Imran Khan as he was very well aware of the situation that what decisions should be taken during challenges, adding that horse-trading should be discouraged in politics. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s leaders, who were claiming respect for the vote, were now contacting the government allies just to achieve their personal ambitions, he asserted. – NNI
