ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid on Thursday said that the opposition parties have made it a habit to protest in November and December every year.

Earlier, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid had asserted that the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) does not feel threatened by the Opposition at all because “it is spineless and worthless”.
“In fact, Prime Minister Imran Khan is lucky that he got such a worthless Opposition,” the interior minister said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad. Rashid referred to the Pakistan Democratic Movement as a “dead political elephant”.
The minister continued, “I will request the Opposition that the politics of the frog in the well has ended from August 15 and now politics is happening in deep-sea waters — look at the changing situation.”
“This worthless Opposition has not been able to make any decision so far,” he said, adding that the democratic movement had set out to oust the government last December but almost one year on, it was still planning to oust it without taking any concrete actions.
