MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi today (Sunday) has warned that conspiracies were being hatched to destabilize Pakistan.
Talking to journalists in Multan, the Foreign Minister said that some elements were trying to harm the country by becoming part of the conspiracies. “The elements are making anti-Pakistan forces happy through their unwise approach and statements,” he added.
Responding to a question, FM Qureshi said that the opposition was unable to digest the country’s progress. “The country’s journey towards development and prosperity will continue despite opposition’s obstacle,” he remarked.
“We are proud of our institutions and their performance. We are proud of Pakistan’s armed forces,” he said, adding that the government had invited the opposition to jointly thrash out proposals for free, fair, and transparent elections in Gilgit-Baltistan, but they refused.
Criticizing the former rulers, the foreign minister further said that they looted the national wealth and laundered it abroad to accumulate properties.
Earlier on October 10, FM Qureshi urged the opposition parties to postpone their protest owing to the second wave of the novel coronavirus in the country.
FM Qureshi underscored the need for adopting precautionary measures to keep the people safe from the COVID-19 pandemic. “There was no threat to democracy or the government from the opposition’s rallies,” he added.
