He said that next 48 hours are important, adding time till 12 o’clock on Friday and Saturday night is important.
Sheikh Rasheed said that he has a keen eye on the situation and will decide according to the political situation.
Last week, Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed had expressed ignorance of the letter shown by Prime Minister Imran Khan during yesterday’s Parade Ground rally.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Monday, Sheikh Rasheed said that JUI-F is not allowed to hold today’s meeting and sit-in as their NOC has expired. PML-N is allowed to hold today’s meeting, he added.
He said that Imran Khan is laying the foundation of an independent foreign policy and we stand with Imran Khan like a rock, whether Imran Khan is in power or not, we stand with him.
The interior minister said that if the resolution was tabled today, voting would take place.
He further said that he did not see any government completing its tenure. I think from the evening of 29th to the evening of 31st the matter will be decided, he added.
Sheikh Rasheed said that conspiracies are often international but I do not know the letter which was mentioned by the prime minister.
He said that the establishment is only with Pakistan. I have been asking Imran Khan from day one to hold elections after Hajj and dissolve the Punjab Assembly. I wanted emergency in the country and governor rule in Sindh because people are selling, he added.
