ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said that it would be better if opposition alliance PDM changes the date of its long march from March 23.
Talking to the media on Wednesday, he said that Bilal Bhutto’s long march will be allowed to reach Islamabad as PPP has spent billions on it. Replying to a question, the minister said that a no-confidence motion is not an easy task as it can shake the foundations of the country. “Joint opposition endeavour of no-trust motion has already failed,” he added.
Sheikh Rashid said that the government, in its 3.5 years, announced a package for everyone and for the first time petrol price was decreased in order to provide relief to the public. Questions are raised whenever the government announces something for the poor segments of society.
Talking about long marches of opposition parties, the minister said that Bilawal Bhutto’s long march will be allowed to reach Islamabad as PPP has spent billions on it; however, it would be better if opposition alliance PDM changes date of its long march from March 23.
Interior Minister, while urging civil defense to be ready, said that unfortunate events can happen anytime. He added that the youth of the country should be aware of civil defense and for this purpose introductory programs will be held in all provincial capitals.
Additionally, the minister stated that Pakistan was moving towards a more neutral foreign policy under the leadership of PM Imran. He stated that the country should aim to organise itself further on matters of foreign relations.
