He said that the three parties of the opposition have come together in a mutual interest, their mutual interest is the fear of their own interest caste and Imran’s accountability.
Sheikh Rashid said that thankfully now they are saying that the umpire is neutral. When they will lose, they will have to stick to it.
Replying to a question on the prime minister’s statement regarding the European Union, the interior minister said that Zulfiqar Bhutto was sued to shared foreign policy with the nation. What if Imran Khan put in front of the nation the foreign policy, we are not part of any bloc, we want to have good relations with all superpowers, Rasheed said.
He further said that it is certain that the MQM-P will stand with the prime minister and Pir Pagara will also be with him.
Earlier, for the first time, the PML-Q had signaled to review its support to the PTI government.
PML-Q MNAs Moonis Elahi and Tariq Bashir Cheema had a second meeting with three ministers yesterday.
The PML-Q leaders made it clear that if 15 to 20 members of PTI joined the opposition by crossing the floor, then it would be difficult for them to support the government in future. We will be forced to join the opposition, they added.
According to sources, on the shocking stance of the PML-Q leaders, the three PTI ministers said that they accept their stance and if our members change allegiances then they will not stop them.
The sources said that in a one-on-one meeting with the Prime Minister two days ago, Tariq Bashir Cheema had said that if PTI members leave government then they will have to accept the offer of the opposition.
